Скачать или смотреть Making Resin Scales | Rose Quartz Mermaid Tail #1

What do crystals and mermaids have in common? Not much but I've been wanting to make an individually scaled resin mermaid tail for a while and rose quartz sounds like the perfect theme to go with!

New stuff in my Etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/pasionfruit...

Long time no see!
I took a bit of a break for a few weeks to rest and reset my brain but we're back with resin mermaid scales! I announced that I'm thinking about making a resin (mythic inspired) mermaid tail a few months back and it's time to do it. In this video you can see all the steps I go through when making a batch of scales. From making the silicone moulds through, drilling, filling and glazing the scales.
This process might take a while since it took me 2 weeks to make 168 scales and I need about 3000 of them
sewing time and fluke making time lol So we might be here a while!
But hopefully the tail should be ready before the start of February.

While making my scales I got a new order on Etsy so I wanted to show you that as well! I love packaging my creations, it's so much fun!

I will try my best to make every video a bit different since this process is very repetitive so if you have any suggestions on what you would like to see, feel free to let me know!

In the next videos I want to show you:
*Concept art of the tail,
*sew few scales onto a piece of fabric to see how they behave,
*trying to find a silicone hardener,
*finish the fluke (make a silicone monofin),
*make some extra silicone fins!
