Well, I was going to do a blog on Criminal collectables. Its typical isn't it! Couldn't think what to blog about of late then get a few ideas all at once - just like buses eh. So instead we have the Rugeley Mermaid. Steve thrives on looking for, scouring, seeking out the unusual, the dark, the weird, the beautiful dead! This time he has found a stunner. On Wednesday this week the most beautiful Mermaid came to Rugeley. In a frame that's over 8ft in height, it was too tall to stand up right in the shop. The sand, the shells, the way the skin is textured and patterned, the way her stringy wet hair is curled and lain stuck to the sand beneath, the expression on her face. Was her mouth open in shock and horror as she passed or a wide grinning evil smile? She is so much more than just a scary thing to add to your Halloween props. Its a feature within itself. This piece really is a work of art. I for one can't stop looking at it, It is just W O W!!! Just wished we lived in a house with higher ceilings. Don't think she would have made it to the shop then lol. Have also got my eye on a fantastic Unicorn horn !!
A Mermaid is defined as "a female marine creature, having the head, torso, and arms of a woman and the tail of a fish. 2. a highly skilled female swimmer" according to this online dictionary. In August 2014, Epic Wildlife News 2015 claims that a real life mermaid corpse washed up upon a shore. An interesting story indeed with photographic evidence, but is it real or just a story? Its even reported that Columbia saw Mermaids on his early travels. | Visit out competition page to enter our latest competition - Name the Mermaid! This beautiful creature needs a name!
