Here is the design for the tail and top based on a Rosetail Betta.
Do they read as a cohesive whole?
Here are the fabrics I have earmarked for this. Also planning on using metallic black and metallic blue paint to add the outline of scales (metallic to catch the light. Also adding some sequins to the speckled area.
How do most of you affix sequins usually? Adhesive? Stitched on? Any methods I should deffinitly NOT use?
Does anyone have any similar recommendations for fabric tail waistbands, especially for very squishy mermaids?
Also, I've been planning on sewing channels into the sides of the fluke for industrial zip ties. I figure this will add a bit of structure to the tail and allow it to keep the betta shape and not clump up together but still have a large degree of flexibility and fabric flutter. Has anyone experimented with this?
Comments? Tips?
