Yes! I've finally gone and made myself a tail! Granted no, it's not a shark's tail, but it is my second favorite animal, the Orca :D

Now, the reason this is an orca tail is because I had an Intex Inflatable Orca for a while, and I slept with it as a bit cuddle toy every night for a full year or so, and it a few months ago stopped holding a full load of air. There were no specific holes or patchable leaks, it just didn't hold air well. So I got another one, and I finally got up the heart to cut off the tail fluke from the broken one and use the material to make a tail :D It turned out so much better than I was thinking it would! Thanks mostly to planning out the shape with paper first XD Took three or four modifications of the fluke template to get it right :3 So I finished cutting it out, sewed it up, filled it with stuffing, and then added the belt loops, and HERE IT IS! :D

The awesome part is that the entire tail only used the material from the fluke, which is like one quarter of the total material of the orca :D so I can actually make somewhere around 4 of these if I really planned it out when cutting. I'm probably just gonna have 3 though :3 one for me, one for  stucklover89 and one to sell or give to another orca buddy of mine if he wants it ^^
