PearlieMae's Silicone Tail Journey

How did you paint it and get it that shiny! Is it that shiny in person or is it the camera flash?
Its the prettiest tail I have ever seen :rollover:

I didn't paint it. Every single scale is cast individually, mixed with glitter or pearl pigment... if you go back through my thread you'll see exactly how I did it.

*Probably the millionth dreamy sigh I've sighed while looking at this thread*

/).- I TOTALY knew that! (Blond moment)
But I seriously think I may be in love with it :3 just a little bit and thanks so much for explaining everything so well :D it's very nice of you :)

Aren't you all tired of looking at this thing yet? I can't wait to finish it to start on another one!

I think I'm going to test my glue-down-the-scales technique on a purse with some extra scales tonight.

No. We NEVER get tired of drooling on gorgeous tails!!

I agree with Ireneho!

I agree with Ireneho-- If anything, we wanna see MORE. <3

(By the way, the scale config is amazing! I LOVE the colors on the front!)

Here's a quick video of the fluke in the sunlight...

:o amazing

Is that silicone bonded to the lexan sheeting or are you just using it to support that side of the fluke?

No, it's just laying on the monofin cutout for now. I'm testing how to encase it in the rubber flukes once I get the other side cast.

Now you KNOW!!! people would be passing out left and right over your mad skills GIRL!!!!! just aint even fair i tell ya LMAOOO
GOOD JOB!! It's sparkle-tastic!
