My biggest weakness is that I am way too ambitious. Which is probably why I don't just start by buying a tail or making a $20 one out of some tights and a monofin. But I saw this...
And I knew that it was just perfect. To try to make. And fail miserably. I hate myself sometimes
But, shockingly enough, I figured out how to do a jellyfish for real. Some jellies have a dangly bit that isn't the tentacles, which looks like jellyfish-colored Kleenex. (See Figure A)
I could hide my legs in there, which solves most of the issues. Including walking, if I'm clever about it. There are two problems really.
1. I'm not sure how to make the swimming motion look realistic, with an undulating bell and stuff. I came up with some concepts, but nothing that's certain to work.
B. I have no bloody idea what materials to use for this. I need something like a brightly colored rubber hoop skirt. Which of course is available at my local Pink Rubber Clothing Store on Sarcasm Boulevard.
I know the real problem is that I am the king of overachievers, but do you have any idea what needs to be done besides corrective brain surgery?
