Hi merfolk!
My name is Jackie and I have been lurking for quite a few months now reading SO many incredible threads. Although I do not swim with a fin myself I make costumes and have learned many ways to apply your crafting methods to things I want to make. I am making a beachy ursula for a comicon cruise later this year and that is what started this journey. I recently came across one of your members who made some epic seaweed for a top and I copied her methods to recreate some for strapping and skirt detail. I also am testing out scale methods. I must confess the pigmenting of the shells/scales to get them just how I want is quite a task!
I wanted to share my progress and will welcome any advice or tips you guys have learned for pigmenting like this incredible crafter, Mermaid Pearlie Mae, does! These are for personal use and two gifts for friends as surprises so I want them to be JUST right :)
