Three Mermaid Garden Hangings

 



Nyria's Mer-girls are exclusive designs using locally sourced beachcombing finds; knots and netting from tangled fishing nets, pieces of driftwood crafted by the sea and shells particular to the Cornish coast  such as limpets, winkles, mussels, periwinkles, razor shells, scallops, cockles, whelks. small cowries, pheasant eyes and top shells.

Pieces of green and blue sea glass worn smooth by winter storms, discarded gull feathers, dog fish egg cases ( known as 'mermaids' purses), bladderwrack seaweed and other interesting finds from along the strandline are also used for decoration.

Each mermaid wears a 'slipper' limpet in her tail and has an individual name and personality
