That WOULD be adorable! Gosh, I should dig up this picture I have (I don't think I posted it already) of when I put one of the stingrays in the bath and my cat was entranced by it. It was sooo adorable!

Today: more sculpting, more armor-crafting (and priming then painting the pieces I already have). Also thinking of a name for my Etsy shop. Lorelei suggested Shipwrecked-something, like Shipwreck Studios (and then I thought of Shipwrecked by Cyanea). I like this but I'm not 100% sure yet. I was kind of thinking of making it sound a little more scientific, because that appeals to me a lot (I'm a zoologist and a huge science nerd, I love scientific names, hence my mermaid name :P ) I had a passing thought to have different shops for my sea creatures (make it the scientific one) and for my apparel stuff (and call that one shipwrecked) but I think having two different shops would be too much trouble.

If I'm feeling about my fluke sculpt, I might post a teaser picture of it!

Hey Pearlie, I got a question for you. Do you want the kelp strands for something specific, like attaching to a top or something? Or just for general crafts or a prop? I ask because I was a doof when I sculpted it and made some of the blades a wee bit short so not all of them will go all the way over a bra cup, which necessitated a little creative rearranging on my part. For the next top I make I'll just fix that problem by making a couple extra kelp blades to stick on the bra cup underneath the main one to cover any gaps, so if you want it for something like that I could make you a couple spare blades as well, for any extra coverage. Also, would you want me to just cast a single solid color and send that to you, or paint it myself? I know you're good with silicone and could paint it however you want, but it wouldn't take too much extra time or effort for me to add some shading. Will let you know as soon as my pigments arrive!
