It depends! The most expensive material i used was some decorative fish hooks, which were about 17 dollars. Without those I'd say about 30 dollars including the pearls? And of course, plus the price of anything else you might like to add!Quote:

Just got around to trimming the edges!! One side of the fluke is done!!! I still need to color it, but I'll do that when i put the sides together!
Heres a pic with my leg form to see the fluke size!

In all honesty, the fluke is much smaller than what i want... i guess I'll try again!Quote:
