Just finished a tiger tail. :) took about a week, had 31 pieces to sew together in all...it was worth it. Thinking about making matching ears. The fade in the orange and black were done with 2:1 mixture of water and acrylic. Length is about 3 foot or more. It is poseable with a wire on the inside. I think a friend of mine is thinking of buying it from me. If anyone is interested in a custom tail just let me know and I will give you an estimate.
