20 in stock
A tea towel printed with the Oystercatcher design, a single bird standing on the sand with the tide behind it.
The drawing is by Fishing Float Art in the Isle of Skye, an artist better known for painting the fishing floats she finds along her local shore.
The bird is black and white with that long red bill, drawn with a curl of pattern through the wing. The sea and sky run behind in bands of turquoise and blue, with soft clouds above and a couple of shells at its feet. The design sits in a framed panel with the words Oyster Catcher lettered underneath. The towel is 100% cotton and made in the UK.
The same design comes as a coaster and a mug, so there is a set to build if you want one.

Fishing Float Art
Brought up in Orkney, I have spent my entire adult life in Skye, With my husband, our 4 children and now granchildren! I have been lucky enough to always live right on the coast, and for as long as I can remember beach combing has been part of my life. From glass bottles in the low tide exposed mud in Stromness to the floats I have collected over the last 30 years on my local coastline. The painting started after a conversation with my Mum, who at the time was in Shetland, she had bought a float at a sale with a sailing ship on it. The spark was lit! All the floats that were collected for a reason I didn't yet know were put to use, and the rest they say is history!
From flowers, seabirds, lighthouses, classic west coast creel boats to Shetland super trawlers, the inspiration is never ending. The new edition of each fishing news brings material as does each walk out the door, photos from customers with photos of old and new family boats, I will never tire of painting them, old and new, big and small, each one meaning more to the owner than just a hull with a cuddy or wheelhouse. The floats are a special keepsake, and can be personalised not just with specific boats, but with names and dates too on a classic boat.
