Looks nice, Odette, sorry it didn't work out, though :(
Would have if I was more patient. I think I made mine the same way you made yours.Quote:

oh beautiful!! :D Will you share your secrets with us, Pearlie? ;)
This. Is. Gorgeous. Absolutely STUNNING. I cannot WAIT to see this fluke in action!Quote:

Sooooo cool!!
Also, completely off topic.. I saw this photo on FB and it instantly reminded me of your tail :)
Haha, you could almost use the feather pattern as a scale texture!Quote:

And don't think I didn't try impressing a feather into my clay! The texture was just too subtle, but I did make some peacock scales!
I've always had this idea that someone could do a sort of 'harpy' thing, where they would take bird feather and arrange them like you did your scales, and then cover them in a sealer. That would make a really cool bird-fish hybrid look. I don't know if that's possible though...
I tried covering feathers with silicone. The results are very sad. Feathers are meant for air, truly they are.
I did make some peacock feather-LOOKING scales, though. With a little refinement, they could be quite convincing.
But it would be an interesting challenge, though!
Haha, I suppose I must be content with the regular scales. :) Yeah, silicone would NOT mix well with tiny bird feathers, would it?

Yes, that's my purple tail on Facebook! This tail would probably be 2 pounds lighter if I took out all the glitter! Hahaha!
Naw, I tried with some lovebird feathers, and they just dull right up. And then the silicone peels off. :(Quote:
