    Yaasss! The gummy candy tail is coming to life! (Ever since someone mentioned the scales looking like candy this thread makes me salivate both over your art and from hunger)
    The place is coming along really nice. How do you know they're truly secure though? What's the test to make sure they can withstand use?

    Looking great, Amelia! Yeah, adhering the scales takes FOREVER, but yours should go pretty fast because your scales are large. Good luck!

    I just cover the back pin them down all around the edges and allow to cure. I've had to touch up a few places but over all it works well as a process. I was worried about the security of them which is why I took the bottom and stuck my hand up in it. I'm not worried about it now it felt very secure! Loads of stretch and give too. I'm over the top excited and can't wait to get it done.

    I'm not sure how I would have done this without your guidance Pearlie Mae. I probably wouldn't have started mine had I not seen your work. You are inspirational.

    Yes just like the swimsuit liner fabric.
    I didn't sew it I figured the silicone will cure over it and would be secure enough on it's own it overlays about a 1/2 inch.

    Wow your tail is coming along amazingly!!! I wish so bad that I could come back to Muskogee this spring but I've got such a busy schedule this year and I'm out of the country for most of the weekends. Makes me want to cry that I can't come see this tail. ��

    Lol. You should have let them eat one and watch as the joy on their faces slowly turns to confusion. That would have been hilarious.
