    At it again: momo's third partial tail

    Hello! I'm feeling the tail making bug once again.

    As with all my old threads this tail will be worked on in parts as i acquire and save up funds. Since I've decided not to go to phoenix comicon this year i thought it would go faster but this time but my dad surprised me with tickets for the esence fest so there goes that haha.

    Here is the design for my tail


    Currently i know the fins and flukes will be silicone, but I'm not sure if the body will be silicone or sequin as of yet. I'm also thinking of sculpting the side fins out of clay first and using pour silicone just for thise parts and maybe the fluke.

    Alright first piece has been acquired! I butchered my bird of paradise tail and pulled the monofin out of it to re-use. (I'm keeping the fluke to frame but throwing out the body portion)

    I will post a video of the butchering on my instagram (missmomo_tan) for those who want to see the cuts. Sadly didn't take any of the way i cut it before discarding the body and putting the rest away.

    I did include a pic of the scale heart i cut out so i could frame some scales with the fluke

    I learned a valuable lesson today: the quik strip odorless mineral spirits will cause silicone to clump up. Stick with the usual turpentine and mineral spirits
