Making my first top for my sister

[AniaR]

Started making a top for Mermaid Ama. We bought a bra on sale and I've spent a while sewing fish netting on it. Then I went to michaels and they had the fake plants on sale so we stocked up, I sewed them on AND glued them. I've started adding little embellishments. I've got two shells but I have been trying for 6 months to get two that match and cant, so I got 2 that are close and we're going to sand one down. The shells aren't on I just set them against it to see how it looks so far :p Photo isn't the best, the flash washed out some things so it looks a little weird, done with my cell phone haha.

Beautiful!
When I was planning on using lions paw shells I bought four, in the hopes two would match.
They never were perfect. But I did get very close matches. ^_^ still have them too... gotta do something with them maybe... :)

I hope it survives haha! I have had fun making things but they always fall apart. lol. Don't really know what I'm doing.

Well no two shells are the same, right? I really like it! It makes me think if Poison Ivy. I say dye her hair orange and stick her in a green tail! :P

Looks awsome so far! And I know what u mean by 'don't know what i'm doing'-part :) I always have the wildes ideas but don't know how to let them work XD

Nice!! I have used liquid nail to hold large shells like that. What adhesives are your using for this project, if you don't mind me asking. FYI, I love seeing the stuff you post on your facebook wall Raina.

Ooh, this is gorgeous! :D

I kind of like it when things aren't perfect matched with mermaid accessories; it's kind of like we just took things we found from the bottom of the sea and did what we could with them :)

Either way, lovely!
