Hi! Thank you for stopping by my online shop!

My name is Courtney and I'm an artist and content creator from Vancouver, Canada specializing in the conceptual design and full realization of functional fabric merfolk tails.

My mermaid adventure began in 2006 with a pair of flippers, some Spandex, and a dream. Once I knew it was possible to make a swimmable fabric mermaid tail, I was hooked!

In 2011 I began to experiment with digital designs in Photoshop where I used specialty fabric paints to bring the designs to life on plain white Spandex.

Style and Comfort Combined

Traditional mermaid tops can be very heavy, uncomfortable, and unfriendly towards our natural waters.

My Shellusion merfolk tops are designed with merfolk and the environment in mind.

No longer do you run the risk of losing fake pearls and beads, chipping paint and glitter, or supporting businesses that mine shells and starfish from our oceans.

No longer do you need to worry about the added discomfort and weight of sharp shells and heavy silicone.

My merfolk tops are ultra supportive, super comfortable, and durable!

They are designed using both photographs of real shells and beads, as well as original artwork by me!
