Mermaid Kelda's New Tail by Pearlie Mae

She, who?

My friend Michela. I'm making her a tail and me one. I've made one before but not full silicone.

I just love the clusters of blue-purple ones at the bottom right. If I ever make another big tail for me, it'll be green with a blue-purple fluke just those eye-popping colors. So pretty. This whole color scheme is gorgeous!

I've pinned some scales onto the mannequin to see if I can emulate the crystal look of the reference image...Kelda, let me know what you think. Initially, I was going for a symmetrical look, but it was boring, so I though I would take a different approach. I just want to see if you like how the colors mesh together without being complete gradients. I'll be pinning more tonight to get an overview.

If not, reconfiguring them is not a problem!

Love the inspiration! I think it'll look gorgeous :)

So pretty! The colours look lovely.

That looks fantastic! The colours go so well together. I can imagine lots of gorgeous crystal jewellery going well with this tail [emoji4]

Beautiful work so far.

I love this. *Grabby Hands*

Thanks! I've been churning out scales like a madmermaid...this weekend is a holiday weekend, so I get an extra day to work on tails and fin/fluke sculpts....so much in progress, many new things to see...

Sooooooooooooooon!

Love love love love love it! It's perfect.
I like the dark blue used sparingly, as an accent. And the asymmetry is beautiful! I much prefer it that way. Seems more natural I think.

It's a beautiful collection, Pearlie!

Thanks, everyone!

I'm so glad you like the asymmetry, Kelda! It's going together very organically without being completely random. The mottling of the colors is almost underwater camouflage ...I think you'd be able to hide among the corals in a reef! This tail is going to be unique!! :yay:

Ooh that would be such a cool photo shoot to be hidden among the corals. Excellent color matching PearlieMae!

Love this! absolutely gorgeous!!!

Loving what your doing with this tail Pearlie!!! ❤️[emoji227]
