Fly away with these great Swallow decorations or better yet decorate your house with a flight of them across a wall. They come in shades of blues, greens, reds and yellows, depending on where the original plastic is found and what it used to be.
The design
We are delighted to stock this clever Swallow decoration, the fruition of unique collaboration with Ally of Ocean Plastic Pots and Anna Campbell Jones. Inspired by a vintage metal Swallow Anna found in a junk shop over twenty years ago. They can be hung individually, in pairs or three's or create a full flock or Gulp of Swallows.
The background
Ocean Kitchen Scotland is a business with a purpose, Ally who set it up was a saturation diver working in the North Sea and a commercial diver in Scotland for 13 years. He dived all around the world from the Ivory Coast to Singapore and most of Europe. He experienced first hand the detrimental impact plastic waste is having on our marine life, and was really saddened by the volume of plastic he was finding in the sea and on our beaches. He knew he had to do something and impressively he succeeded with Ocean Kitchen Scotland.
