Its based on the Mermaid of Zennor
a legend dating back hundreds of years in the nearby village of Zennor Cornwall.
Legend has it that a mermaid would visit the parish church every sunday to listen to the choir sing, she was so taken by the voice of one of the choir that it is said that one day he vanished with the mermaid into the sea in the nearby cove.
In the above photo Ive started to tack weld the frame together for the box, its made from angle iron and 1 inch steel strap. The metal panels let into the front are made from reclaimed sheet tin and have been hand beaten with the mermaid and dolphin designs.
Hoping to get more done tomorrow.
