Every single tail is so gorgeous, and it's so cool to look through the thread and see how your style has developed and matured. I showed a couple of your tails to my mertender and he said that the scale and fluke textures make them look like living Van Gogh paintings.

Mermaid Nixies new tail based on a trigger fish :swoon:
Soooo beautiful!!! :thumbs-up:
I think that's my favorite fluke, and I love trigger fish!
I love the dainty little scales close to the fluke; small details like that add so much to a tail. I've been curious, do you leave drainage holes or do you seal your flukes? They don't seem to get much drag.
All my tails have drainage holes otherwise it would be dangerous.Quote:

Zipper worked fine but I just need to figure out how to stop it unzipping! haha
Mermaid Enora found a way to keep the zipper put. I looked it up here is a quote from her sequin tailmaking topic:
The quote is from post # 67 pg. 4Quote:
I did make a key for the zipper. The zipper requires a kinda stop start zipping to get it closed. The fins also have a tendency to get in the way. Holding onto the 1in zipper pull behind my knees while pulling was really putting a strain on my hand so I tied a loop of ribbon onto a locking hook that can clip onto the hole in the endow the zipper pull and it works great. I also have a large hook and eye clasp at the very top of the zipper. I can't reach that to hook it on my own that requires help. My mom is really good at getting it hooked quickly. After the hook is fastened the zipper key can be unclipped and put away somewhere safe.
