After all the trouble you've been through the recent week I can't belive how relieving it must be to actually see your tail. :)
It looks like it will all be worth it!
Maressa that tail is already looking amazing!!! Cannot wait to see the finished product!!!
Woohoo!
Thanks guys <3 I'm so happy. This last year has been really hard. I was in a car accident and lost my car, had to put my cat and best friend to sleep, lots of medical issues and bills, an insanely stressful semester at school, relationship trouble, and looking forward to my tail has helped to be a bright light at the end of a dark tunnel. I can't wait to join my Finfolk family! :D
So happy for you maressa! Can't wait to see the finished product! :D

That tail has me drooling! Lol its beautiful!!!
Progress pictures like this make me wish that I'd live closer to a tailmaking business. It looks so fun painting them.
Swoon indeed!!!
I love those colors on that tail! I really love how the fluke is lined with that dark purple and the big spots are very unique. Did you know you wanted your tail to look like that right away or did it take you a while to figure out what it would look like? I think you picked a beautiful design. :swoon:
Thanks so much everyone! <3
Minxfox, I designed a loooooooot of tails before I picked this one. I made a pinboard and every time I saw something I liked, I pinned it. I'm a costumer, and I do the same with a lot of my big costume projects... helps you see what you keep going back to. :) I think I made about 15 different designs before I fell in love with this one.
Here's my pinboard! :D http://www.pinterest.com/thetessari/mermaid/

Maressa: Your tail is stunning :jawdrop:
Arion: Admittedly I giggled at the picture, but no one wants to be turned to sushi around here :P
First coat of paint on the stripes... they're getting softened and blended :) Attachment 27013
