Shimmygoddess those are gorgeous! The pink one would match my tail perfectly, too. You aren't by any chance making any to sell, are you?

Thanks! Not right now, but if I have some time in the future I might make some to sell. I usually post stuff for sale on my FB page

This is my mertailor scale top http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...368fbf3a95.jpg
I scraped it and it got kind of damaged but it's still pretty
Love the colors Shannon! I have a soft spot for dark tops/tails 😍
So I finished another mini mermaid top. This one is more turquoise/blue. The fumes from the E6000 are really getting to me, no wonder I have had a headache all week. LOL. Took a pic of them all together. Made 3 in less than a week. So proud of my determination. LOL

Oooooh, those are fabulous, Shimmy. I love the blue one!
I posted this bra last week, I had repainted it. Got a picture of it on. Found this pic on the local News station's photo gallery from the St. Patricks day parade. So glad I repainted it. I love it even more now!!

What gorgeous colors Shimmygoddess!
Here's one I made recently for Mermaid Bree in florida. :) Cast the starfish myself, as well as sewed and glued all the foliage. ^.^

Just made these large silicone shells for tops!

Those tops are gorgeous, Shimmy! Glitterrrrrr, yes! And Coyote, I love it! Haha, your mannequin is like "Yeah, bitch, I got this awesome top on, whaddya gonna do about it?"
Lmao, that is Candy's attitude isnt it? I made a silicone seashell top for me, i'll get pics later when I'm off work.

This is the one for my editorial shoot. NO ITS ONLY IMPLIED NUDE and not for kiddie events duh
Its very awsome !!
That looks great Shannon! I was considering making a similar top for the evil mermaid/siren photoshoot, I think it would look better for that shoot than my seaweed or shell tops would [emoji14]
My next client's top, punk/glam rock mermaid!! (In progress) it will have blue/gold seashells and a matching starfish headpiece. http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...c42cc28845.jpg

Sewed the fringe on today, started modifying the back to lace up (it had a zipper), and got the first shell made! ^.^ the picture of the shell is a little bright, its a denim blue with gold. http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...750e5b2670.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...f14744bc8f.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...15013f257b.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...ca73c0eb5c.jpg

Finally finished my top for the... 35th season of the Scarborough Renaissance Festival.
It has abalone, labradorite, and freshwater pearls.

Beautiful!
Because yarn is a passable substitute for seaweed *win*
Still love the tribal striping. ^.^

It's nothing fancy (yet) but I finally have the materials for my merman vest! I ordered extras because it's better to have too much than not enough. I'm not sure if I should create my own thread for progress on this or not...2200 scales, 4200 rings.

I'm saying yes, you need to start a thread for this. this is new and exciting, we need a vest thread :)
Got the seashells on the punk/glam rock top. All thats left is chains, gems, and the flower she wants on it. ^.^http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...730eda1c12.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...8c7a1eeee0.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...2647761366.jpg

Still working on it, making adjustments. Finished sewing in and reinforcing the netting.

Debating on whether or not I want to cover the sides with netting. It'd be a shame to hide this detail:

Comments? Thoughts?
I do like the side detail. Maybe you could put thin strips of netting on certain parts of the side so as not to cover all of that detail. Or you could sew on a few random pearls.
This is the front detail.

Just finished it.
Thinking about sewing these into the sides..
http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...6b409ce77d.jpg
I like the pearl suggestion. That could look pretty together.. Might just have to pick some up tomorrow.
Just kidding. NOW the center piece is finished.
http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...7a56a8002d.jpg
I added two little shells.. :)
I really love the center! Did you put something on the shells to make them so shiny?
Thank you! Yes I used these materials:

Wowow, That top is -beautiful- :swoon: Can you post another picture head on of the whole thing? The side view doesn't do it justice.
I'd just put some hanging from the bottom or something. That's too pretty!Quote:
