Seconding the request for more pictures please

Hi ladies,
thank you so much for the compliments, I am glad you like it! Here are a few more pics. I apologise for the poor quality, but these are stills from the vids I havent been able to pun on yet. BTW I now have soooo much respect for anyone who has the patience and loose screws to make a sequin tail lol!

I love the sequins on the vinyl!

wow you have some patience! love the stills it looks like found footage of mysterious mermaid

Hey Leomar,
you can get the sequins here http://www.ccartwright.com/sunshop/i...duct_list&c=20, have fun browsing! Mine are glued on the neoprene of the fluke with marine goop and mostly sewn on the body. For anyone with the patience to try this, I would recommend using the strongest thread, leather needles, a zigzag stitch. Some of the shell colors benefit from heat treating with hot but not boiling water right before sewing as some are more prone to cracking during the sewing.
Hugz!

I have really been wanting to make a sequin tail. This is so inspiring! Thank you for showing more photos of your gorgeous work!

Melusine, your tail is exquisite! I LOVE the treatment of the fluke with the combination of clear liner and the sequins!!!!!!!!!!
