Jessica's Second Dragonskin Tail

[Jessica]

I'm loved making my first tail so much that now I'm working on my second dragonskin silicone tail! This tail is really special though...it's my first tail that I'm making for someone else! I originally planned to make another tail for myself first, but I couldn't pass up the chance to make an extra tail. I'm seriously addicted to tailmaking now

This tail is for Mermaid Eva and we've been working really closely together on a new custom fluke design! It's so different from other flukes and I'm just in love with it! It's very natural and very fishy. I'm incredibly excited about this project and everything has just fell perfectly into place. Eva is close to my size which will make sizing easier, and she has been great to work with.

This tail will have a finis wave monofin because of the long, narrow fluke design. A competitor would have been great but it was just too wide to get the shape of the fluke without cutting the monofin.

I'm ordering shell shock and dragonskin tonight and will be pouring the mold for the fluke hopefully Wednesday or Thursday (weather permitting)

Here's the fluke sculpture: (I love the edge!)
