Is that big chunks of glitter? I always thought that it wasn't durable in silicone because the glitter cut itself out?
Or did you find a secret magical way around that? Haha

Not a secret magical way, really...you just use the chunky glitter in places that won't flex much. The center of the fluke isn't going to be manipulated like the body of the tail would be, and all the chunky glitter in my personal fluke is all in place after 2+ years, so this placement should be fine. I wouldn't use the chunky stuff at the end of the fluke where it would be likely to cut its way out of the rubber.
This is still in the mold, so you're actually seeing the inside part of the fluke - and I haven't cleaned up the areas around the swirls just yet...still a lot to do!
Fluke half pulled from its mold...

Here's a color-corrected version, modified so the perspective isn't as screwy... There's still some tweaking to do, but this is the main idea. :D

IT LOOKS SO PRETTY. Good job Pearlie!!! I'm so excited to see this tail!
That fluke is super gorgeous.
Before I started working with silicone I didn't like pink. It was OK, occasionally, but I could never label it a favorite color by any means. Then I used the "pink gold" pigment. Then I found the "flamingo pink" pigment. Then I saw your pink scales.Quote:

There's a LOT of pink in this tail...I didn't want it to come out like a solid pink popsicle, so there's lots of variations...I'm liking it!
Also, the fluke came out of the mold this shiny...no topcoat!
I've never really been a pink girl, but I do love that fluke!

*jawdrop* So swirly and pretty!! Just lovely. :)
Holy coconuts! That's an epic fluke! Love it!
... and I don't even like pink ;)
Thanks, everyone! :mermaid kiss:
:swoon: Soooo Sparkly
Oh wow this is a beautiful fluke! I love the shades of pink! Can't wait to see this tail all together! :)
Wow- Pearlie- you are such a fabulous artist. I feel like if Frida Kahlo was a mermaid she would see this and offer you any price. This is gorgeous.
I love that design more every time I look at it...
I would love to see that fluke style done with bright glittery rainbow coloured details against a jet black background.
