How much dragon skin silicone did you used for everything? :)

[@sewmanyhobbies942]

The color is picking up really good imo! very curious to see how you're going to add them together!

[@Passionfruitdiy]

Thank you, the video should be up on Monday :D

[@sewmanyhobbies942]

+PassionFruit DIY can't wait to see! :)

What Pigment did u use?

[@carriesullivan8234]

I would have put the jelly on your hand before applying the heat helps making it thinner helps cover the tiny places faster uses less product.

[@carriesullivan8234]

Love your vids BTW!

How much does it cost to make the tail

[@Passionfruitdiy]

I'll make a video on costs very soon :) It all depends on where you live and what choices you make (and if you fail a lot or not lol). I know for a lot of American people the costs start at about 700$ but for me it was less but I'll explain everything in a video because there is a lot to talk about. :)

PassionFruit DIY Did you ever make this video? It would be really interesting!:-)

[@giulianaborlando2162]

Is there an easier way to do this??

[@Passionfruitdiy]

you mean to make a tail or just this process? There are easier ways to make tails but they won't really look realistic. You can make just a fabric one using spandex and a diy monofin, that's the easiest way :)

[@giulianaborlando2162]

Thanks!!!

[@tessavanw5036]

I Am kinda confused. ..in the previous vid i saw u paint the scales blue and green..with silicone too in think .. not sure what too follow cause now ur painting again but really different..

[@tessavanw5036]

ok still confused about previous vid. .but i know what to do now 💪

[@Passionfruitdiy]

did you watch them in order? I also did one video about trying different methods of painting on a small sample - it was just to show options. What I did in general was add a pigment to my silicone when casting the pieces and then added different pigments to silicone to paint over it and glue everything together. Feel free to ask if you have more questions ;)

[@tessavanw5036]

PassionFruit DIY yess i think i did. But maybe then thats it then 😊😄 cause this video makes sense again. i really cant wait to start! . its for my son. where i live u cant buy mermaid tails 😊 only dress-like tails.

[@tessavanw5036]

PassionFruit DIY well I say yes but I obviously didn't I think I was confused by the sample paint haha excuse me! 🙈🙊😅

[@bitchimback2811]

when do you finish this?

[@Passionfruitdiy]

it's already done (finished yesterday but didn't have time to paint it and just moved to Scotland and I couldn't take it with me). I need to edit all the footage and my upload days are Mondays and Fridays so the video will be up on Monday probably. :)
