Fading mermaid scales SVG

Fading mermaid scales, as a solid black shape
Fading mermaid scales. The preview is the SVG file itself.

Loose scales that are full at the top, then shrink and drop out towards the bottom. No scale is cut by an edge, so the pattern trails off softly on a shirt or a tumbler.

How fine is it at your size?

Scaling a design scales its finest detail too. Here is this one at seven sizes, from 1 to 12 inches on its longer side, with how many copies fit a 12 × 12 inch sheet or mat.
