More silver milk bottle seals please

 We need more of the silver plastic seals please, from plastic milk bottles. These will make The Starcross Mermaid's tail's scales. Many thanks to everyone who has already collected some... but our Mermaid's tail is quite big.

Workshops start next week at the Starcross Primary School to make The Starcross Mermaid's braids; and manes and tails for the carousel horses.

This year's entry on the Teignmouth Recycled Art in the Landscape sculpture trail will feature a mermaid in the centre of a carousel of gallopers. The mermaid connection with Starcross is illustrated by 3 Fishy Tales on this link. 

The carousel connection is that there used to be a steam-driven carousel which visited Starcross every year. A more abstract connection is the theme of the never-ending plastics which leak into the environment via rubbish in our rivers and oceans; become microplastic;  are reabsorbed by plants; which are eaten by animals; which are eaten by humans. The Plastic Carousel is a poem about this by  Monica Lang
