WTG Teresa!!! You did great. I LOVE IT.
You said you need to pull the tail longer.... I usually pull the tail about 2 1/2". That way you have plenty and you can burn off what you don't want.
What I think is funny ...is when I made my first few I also put side fins on. Someone told me "seahorses don't have side fins" I told them " In MY world they do"...LOL.
If you want a good laugh, I will show you the pics from MY first attempts,lol. I got the idea from a toy squirt gun my son had.You will see how much they have changed.My first few kinda look like birds...LMBO!
C'MON everybody.... I want to see more!
