Wow. It looks great. o_o
Wow Nyla! With such an amazing paint job, it's almost sad to see it covered by sequins!

wonderfull !
Thanks everybody!:3 I'm actually painting the whole tail but just sewing sequins along the top, sides(to hide the seems), the sides if the fluke, and some down the along the dorsal fin. So you'll still be able to see the paint job. I sewed in a couple sequins at the top to I could see what it looked like. But I'm Gunna finish painting the entire tail before sewing the rest of the sequins.
at this point I'm just super excited to paint the fluke:)
It looks wonderful!
I can't wait to see it finished! Looks amazing so far!
UPDATE!!! WHOOP! :yay:

OH MY WORD I LOVE IT. ITS SO AMAZING
So much work put into this tail... o_o
Oh wow! It is so beautiful!!! i'm so jealous!!! >_< :)
And question: What brand of paint did you use, and does it stretch well? (sorry if it has been answered, didn't see :p)
Thanks guys! I actually brought my tail to an all nighter and painted for what felt like forever! (only 4 hours ish xp)
Kalani: I used tulip dimensional fabric paint and tulip glitter dimensional fabric paint. But befre i started painted i did a base coat layer of tulip permanent fabric spray paint. I had to do that base layer because without it, the fabric paint would seep through the neoprene so I would have to do TONS of layers of paint before the colors would show nicely. It was still permanent but the color wasn't as pretty. I'm also going to find one of those invisible sealing paints to help the paint stay longer and not fade.
Once I'm done I'm also going to use glow in the dark fabric paint as wellXD super excited!
That is Great!!!!
Wow, that looks great! Congratulations, that looks REALLY good. :)
Kalani: forgot to answer the second part of your question...
yes the painted neoprene still stretches but not as much as it used to without the paint. I'm finding though that as I begin to stretch the painted neoprene it stretches more. But I don't think it'll ever get back to the same wonderful stretchiness.
How's it going?
Things are going slower than I want....I'm graduating this year so a lot of scholarship work and finding a job... It's crazy. I was actually able to paint a little more this week, but sadly my cameras being stupid... -.-
Im planning to finish before may because that's when my moms going to start heating up our pool again!! :D can't wait for the summer!
We are also going to Disney world before I go off to college and I'm deffinetly bringing my tail to swim in the hotel pools:D
just thinking about all this stuff gets me excited to finish my tail:)
Sorry for the lack of updates though :P
Incredible paint job on that tail! I can't wait to view the final result. Keep up the mermazing work! :)
Holy WOW! that's a work of art!
