The Starcross Mermaid

The Starcross Mermaid only has one Mermaid Braid

The Starcross Mermaid's tail will be covered in silver scales
The build of The Starcross History Society's entry on this year's Teignmouth Recycled Art in the Landscape Sculpture Trail is under way behind the gate of Myrtle Cottage. The recyled materials we still need. please, are:

• Some more curved plastic to build her body. We have chopped up a broken garden chair for her arms and shoulders, but we need more organic-looking plastic ie curved, to build the rest of her body
• Lots more netting to make more Mermaid's Braids: used garden netting, scaffolding netting, net bags from your shopping that contained oranges, Baby Belle cheeses, tomatoes etc.  We will use everything. The Starcross Mermaid now has just one braid. We will hold workshops at Starcross Primary School to make loads more.
• Lots and lots of the white & silver plastic seals from plastic milk bottles, fruit drink cartons and some yoghurt-sized pots. These are to make the scales on her fishnet tail.

Please bring the materials to Myrtle Cottage. Contact  starcross.history@gmail.com if you're not sure if we could use your curved plastic, or if you need directions.

Thankyou
