    Red face Mermaid Amelia Pond's Silicone Tail Journey

    Hey merfolk I'm working on my own silicone tail. It's been a process already! And I only have a few months to get it ready for the Muskogee Renaissance Festival in May It will be peacock colors at least that's the plan.
    I want more sparkle and iridescence in the scales and I'm just not getting that just yet. I have so many scales to do and it feels like I'm years away when I only have months left! *gulp*

    Those are some beautifully modelled scales! Here's a quick tip...cool your mold in the fridge, the clay will come out in big chunks, scrape out what you can, use oil (baby, vegetable, mineral) and an old toothbrush to scrub out the rest. Then clean your mold with original Dawn blue dishwashing liquid and rinse!

    Um...if you work in that tail every day for 8 to 10 hours a day, you MIGHT have it done by May. You've got a lot of work ahead of you. Good luck!

    Thanks Pearlie Mae!
    I really need to make another mold, but with more scales on them. I got your instagram message too, I'll place them closer together next go around too. And the olive oil you suggested worked wonders. And I did wash the mold outside so I don't clog the sink with the clay.

    Those scales are lovely. The green ones especially are quite pretty.

    That's how 11 described her name when she first met him if I remember correctly. Amy is my favorite companion.

    That green!!!
    Do the scales look a little to thick to anyone else, or is it just because the picture was taken super close up? Does that affect layering?
