Aloha all my fellow merbeings! It's been a while since I've posted, but I'm working on a new project! I'm staying with smaller things right now, because of the issues of my hands, but nonetheless, a project has been started. 😁😁😁😁😁
So, I have this doll. It's called a Reborn Baby. She is painted to look life like, and weighted to feel heavy, like an actual baby. Her name is Ashlyn, and I've had her for 3 years.

I've decided to make her a silicone hybrid tail, so I can take her to events and such. Plus, who doesn't like babies, ESPECIALLY if they have a mermaid tail?! I'm using an old pair of leggings for this. Here goes nothing!
MATERIALS:
Reborn Doll
Hair ties
Seran wrap
Masking tape
Beer box
One pair of old black leggings
Paint
Scissors
Pearl Ex Pigment(s)
Silicone Caulking
Silicone caulking gun
DUMMY CAST:
To start, I needed a dummy cast, so I used hair ties to bind her legs together.

Next, I used seran wrap.

Finally, the masking tape.

Now, her legs are already bent, and can't be straightened, so this dummy is all kinds of awkward.
THE FLUKE:
I chose to use a piece of cardboard from a beer box. I sat down, and freehanded it. It's by no means perfect, but this is a trial run.

After cutting it out, I laid it on the leggings, in the crotch area, and traced it with paint.

This is what I have done so far. I'll keep updating this post. Hopefully, I can finish this within a day or two.
