    I’ve been silently watching this thread and I just discovered your Instagram and followed.
    Sorry to see that the scale/shell sequins you ordered weren’t clear, have you thought of buying in bulk directly from a manufacture? I was going to make a sequin tail a couple years ago (but ended up never sewing the sequins on so I sold them) and I bought directly from a manufacture in China... they have loads of colors and sizes, super friendly and helpful and depending on the size of the sequins you get at least 12,000 each bag!

    Hey, thanks for the follow!

    My idea exactly!

    Yesterday I ordered a bulk from China the scales I ordered are clear/golden. I hope these are good :0 they said how much gram they were but how much scales there are. I’ll see when they arrive

    After a test swim with the monofin I realized it’s to floaty and I needed to remove a bunch of foam and use swim flippers. Does anyone know where I can get waterproof foam? The foam I used got filled up with water. And it took forever to dry :0

    You could try neoprene or silicone caulk to fill in the gaps.

    Fabric and silicone are now attached to each other.

    The scales I ordered for this tail were to yellow. So I ordered some new ones. (Several few ones actually) and when they arrive I will choose the best one and order a bulk of them.

    So I’m kinda stuck on waiting for the scales.

    Might work on the back fin while waiting

    So apparently they don’t have the scales I used for the fin anymore.

    These:



    So I luckily didn’t finish half the tail with these scales yet. And well, I can remove them. But it’s just such a waste of time ugh!

    But on the pro side! The shop get new scales and they do have enough of these!
    (And these might secretly be a little prettier as well


    The previous scales had a greenish glow to them I didn’t really like and these new ones seem to be more orange/pink so I hope these will be perfect!

    Your H2O tail is coming along swimmingly! Even if your tail’s scale coloring ends up a bit different than the ones depicted in H2O, I have no doubt that it’ll turn out beautiful all the same.

    Scales arrived!

    So the scales arrived! And I was scared they were to orange but they’re actually really awesome. I also started to attach these to the tail. Mernetwork isn’t allowing me to post a picture so I might use a link later

    The scales arrived and I started to use them right away!

    It was that I ran out of silicone, or else I would have done more

    Can’t wait to continue on!

    Everything looks gorgeous! Please keep going with this project so that we can see the end result! H20: Just Add Water is the best show. I’m thinking about putting on Spanish subtitles as I watch it again to practice my Spanish.

    Yay, so it seems like MerNetwork is allowing pictures again! I observed that Cheydub could post pictures, too.

    Thank you so much!
    Oh good luck with your Spanish!

    Yeah, sometimes I can post pictures but sometimes I can’t?

    Will add a bunch more scales tomorrow!
