How to make a mermaid tail - The Supplies
Working on my tail was frustrating and depressing at the same time so far. Two weeks of my holiday is over and I thought I'd be almost through the tail project by now. Oh was I wrong. But before I talk about all the problems I stumbled so far let's have a closer look at the supplies I bought.
The most important supply of all (I thought!) - the acrylic. Since we don't have an all purpose caulk like ALEX Plus, I had to find an alternative. Really - a combination of acrylic and silicone? You won't find that in Germany. Believe me. I needed three weeks, endless calls and visits at our local building centres to finally accept the truth!!! Germany has nothing like that. Not even something comparable.
Decoration netting for the scale effect.
Createx acrylic colours. I decided to set a course with pink.
Applicators for the acrylic.
A shower curtain for some special effects. *g*
Needles, thread, decoration stuff.
And more decoration stuff like shells and, of course, a bra. Mermaids are supposed to be topless, I know, but - well, times change...
