    Scale Maile Ariel

    I created a Little Mermaid tail made entirely out of aluminum scales.
    She is roughy 8,000 small scales, 16,000 rings and 130+ hours of work

    Oh my gosh! You've done a wonderful job! I've made small pieces of chain maille, but this is incredible!

    That is both stunning and mindbogglingly beautiful and amazing Mermaid Auri! You did a great job. It reads so well in photographs too.

    Oh my! This looks fantastic! And is it odd that I really want to pet your tail? :P

    Cool! Clever AND gorgeous!
    Side note: there really ought to be a thread named, "Cats react to mermaid tails!" because some people's kitties have the funniest expressions checking out our tails.

    Blanket Thank You to everyone!

    Saelyyia, I was very pleased with the way it looks in photographs, I wasn't sure how well the shine and individual scales would show up

    Mermaid Arabella, THE SHININESS WAS VERY PLEASING

    Mermaid Lorelei, Totally not odd at all, scale maille is strangely fun to pet. Many people asked me to do so

    Calizaire, the thread would be amazing, cats and tails are a beautiful combination!

    Ashton, I haven't measured exactly, but I'd say probably 10-15 pounds. I went with aluminum because steel probably would have weighed me into the ground...

    That was smart to make it out of a lighter weighted material.

    Maybe someday I'll play with steel. I do like that its not quite as dirty as aluminum tends to be

    This is absolutely beautiful. It also gets my mind whirling with ideas of mermaids charging into battle, donning elaborate scale maile 😍😍
