Project Bottle Top seems to have become Project Stop the Blue Speckled Hens From Drinking Bleach! The strange chickens are fascinated by the foil wrapped tops and have made numerous attempts to drink from the bowl of bleach we’re washing the bottle tops in. Have spent the morning talking to chickens and cleaning fanta and beer tops for our’ Collect 1 Million by March’ challenge. The stages are as follows
1. Collect bottle tops by various means included scrabbling round in the dirt in towns, grabbing from unsuspecting confused bartenders and crawling round the floors of restaurants.
2. Wash in buckets of water and bleach whilst crouching on doorstep every evening and shoeing away bleach-addicted chickens
3. Dry in sun (it’s rained for three days)
4. Sort into piles for painting and the rest into colour groups (that’s all one million of them)
5. Various volunteers, teachers, work men, guards and innocent by-standers join a one day Hammer Holes in Bottle Tops workshop, drink tea and get back ache. Am considering mobilising the chickens.
6. String onto nylon, knot and singe ends.
7. Pack into envelopes, write instructions, demonstrate use to teachers and wait for impact.
SIMPLE!

| Mmm, tasty bleachy bottle tops. My favourite! |
Rachel I think you need to watch out for the hens, birds like shiny things. At school there was a Biff Chip and Kipper story where a magpie stole everyones valuables and put them in its nest because they were shiny. Perhaps you will find the bottle tops in piles underneath the hens. So if some go missing I would suspect them...
