Thanks, gang!
Wow! A runway gown! I did base that backless halter style on a wedding gown. When I tried it on to make alterations, I had to shuffle like Morticia Addams! :lol:

Wow, that is absoultly stunning! Wow wow wow!!!!:)
That gives a whole new meaning to the term "mermaid gown"! It looks incredible; like one of those exotic fish you find at pet stores that you suspect aren't all strictly legal....Quote:

Illegal Fish sounds like an indie rock band or super trendy bistro. Thanks! :D
^ that reminds me of an old Genesis song from the 90s ;)
Ok, back to topic: that tail and top combo is so absolutely and positively awesome! Pearlie, that tail is not just a tail, it is fashion design at its finest! Have you ever thought about doing fashion design professionally?

Which Genesis song? I'm at a loss. Pre- or post- Gabriel?
I thought about fashion, briefly, but I don't have the mind set for it. I love working with textiles, but if I made clothes, they would be one-off art pieces/haute couture. Probably more of a career in costuming rather than fashion.
I my regular life, I'm a photographer and art director...seems I've spent more than a lifetime in publishing.
Thank goodness for a bucket of clamps.

Oh my goodness I am so in love with that fluke!!! You must post pictures of the full get-up once you're finished with it :)
The cicada-wing fluke is gorgeous! My mum found a cicada today and I told her and dad about your design! :mermaid kiss:
I feel so stupid in this thread because I just cant come up with any superlatives to express my awe. Like I really am just in awe everytime. Are you even human??? lol I turn my head to the side and just stare. lol you are amazing. you took risks and experimented and did this the hard way and it's paying off.
Awwww Raina :mermaid kiss: You can have my "illegal fish" if you like...but I must warn you: it isn't all strictly legal.....
...wink wink, nudge nudge, swish swish, flop flop....
So yeah, I'm sitting on my couch with my barely cured flukes on...
