Yaasss! The gummy candy tail is coming to life! (Ever since someone mentioned the scales looking like candy this thread makes me salivate both over your art and from hunger)
The place is coming along really nice. How do you know they're truly secure though? What's the test to make sure they can withstand use?

It looks beautiful!
Looking great, Amelia! Yeah, adhering the scales takes FOREVER, but yours should go pretty fast because your scales are large. Good luck!
I just cover the back pin them down all around the edges and allow to cure. I've had to touch up a few places but over all it works well as a process. I was worried about the security of them which is why I took the bottom and stuck my hand up in it. I'm not worried about it now it felt very secure! Loads of stretch and give too. I'm over the top excited and can't wait to get it done.Quote:

And you have power mesh beneath them?
I'm not sure how I would have done this without your guidance Pearlie Mae. I probably wouldn't have started mine had I not seen your work. You are inspirational.Quote:

Look really good! That's so exciting - you're really getting there!
I... I want to chew on the tail... I hope it's raspberry flavored. :)
Wow your tail is coming along amazingly!!! I wish so bad that I could come back to Muskogee this spring but I've got such a busy schedule this year and I'm out of the country for most of the weekends. Makes me want to cry that I can't come see this tail. ��
What's the closest Faire you will be at? Texas somewhere?Quote:

Lol. You should have let them eat one and watch as the joy on their faces slowly turns to confusion. That would have been hilarious.Quote:

What I want to know is WHERE IS THE CHOCOLATE BUNNY?
Monthly curse claimed it's life and was hence forth devoured. It was a worthy sacrifice to appease.
