    I like the places where the clear and gold overlap a bit. It's gonna look gorgeous when she's done!

    That's looking amazing! I love the clear sequins on the orange tail, very realistic-looking

    I think it helps the fabric is orange so the clear has something behind it

    The transitions between the gold and iridescent with the orange ground is so organic looking! This is going to be a FABULOUS tail!

    What sequins are those? The holographic, or...?
    I thought those had the covering that would rub right off?

    Raina, if I may...

    The gold sequins are made from polyester sheets, stamped and heat formed into the shape. The holographic component is in the sequin...think pigment embedded into silicone instead of paint on it.

    The iridescent sequins may eventually lose their luster because the AB effect is a coating.

    Oooh, can't wait to see how this looks finalized. Ilonka has a lot of talent

    Like PearlieMae said, AB is a coating (oh man I wish they could just figure out how to get it inside whatever material)... it sometimes rubs off my glass/crystal beads if it's not bonded to the material well enough and I'm rough with it.

    But dang, does it look awesome

    It's fascinating how much they look like scales.
