I have a turbulent relationship with plastic, I spend as much time as i can near the ocean and beach combing has become a healthy obsession.
For my degree show I produced a ring which replaced traditionally used gems and stones with little plastic nurdles I collected from Hells mouth beach in Wales.
These plastic nurdles, aptly named mermaids tears, are the raw material from which our plastic products are made.
As these nurdles resemble fish eggs the worry has become not only for pollution and animal welfare but potentially our health as it could be entering the food chain.
On a lighter note the sun is shining and i did lots of gardening yesterday so the garden is lovely
