Making my own seashell top.

Well, I forgot to take a picture of my supplies, but I got netting, some plastic seaweed green stuff, blue flat pearls and lions paw shells. The white pearls and purple pearls I had lying around.

Here they are with just paint.

Paint sealed and pearls attached.

(sorry for the crappy cell phone pics, I'll update with better progress pics when I get more done.)

My tail is going to be purple and turquoise once I commission it. I hope to be working on a matching "walking" tail soon too. Yay top making! I am one of the busty mers *cough*36dd *cough* I bought a nude strapless bra, so I just hope I got enough seaweed to cover the rest of the bra. 0.o we will see. :cool:

I love the pearl accents!

I agree, the pearls really add something special, and it seems like your top will look really good with a purple and turquoise tail, I'm excited to see!
