Mermaid Amelia Pond's Silicone Tail Journey

[PearlieMae]

When I pulled my first fluke and there were bubbles, I was very upset. My mom said, and I'll never forget, "well, you wouldn't see it from a galloping horse!"

She had a point. If it really bothers you, fill the holes with hot glue, or epoxy putty (test it for inhibition issues first!).

Side fin fiasco

What I started with.....




Built up around it



Used 90% alcohol and blue dawn as a release agent ..... it did not work btw.. with resin




The release didn't snd it's still gummy



Iz waz sadz

Why alcohol and dish soap? That's what I use to clean out my molds.

I read somewhere it was used as a release.

It was a mistake and it cost me plenty of materials.

Yeah I figured no one would be see from a distance.
I like that phrase. That's going to be my new favorite. And mom jeans level.

I'll see what it looks like in the morning. ... I'm afraid I went a little far on the colors.

*waits VERY impatiently to see the fluke*

[Mermaid Amelia Pond]

I needed to keep busy and I needed to find a way to hide my belly better so Spanx tank top and some fabric to wear under my top n tail. It's for sitting n talking in not for swimming in. Good? Bad?




Yeah I know my socks are mismatched.

Well ..... it looks rather.... psychedelic.


Yes that's how I'd describe it.

Very psychedelic.

Maybe I'll use this on the back and do the top in a more toned down version.

The fluke is awesome! reminds me of a peacock and that top is looking fabulous!

[Sabrina the Selkie]

Gorgeous!

I'm dissapointed with the fluke colors. I'm not destroying anything. ... just going to hold for a bit and rethink a bit.
