Announcement Thank you for looking at my painted fishing floats. I have been Beachcombing my whole life, and am fortunate enough to live on the Isle of Skye, with miles of coastline. After collecting the floats for years, about 25 years ago I started to paint them, inspired by the sea and all things connected with it, the floats are up-cycled into unique art works.

About FishingFloatart
The original painted fishing buoys from the Isle of Skye.
Hello, I am Hermione, a fishermans wife from the Isle of Skye, NW Scotland. We have four daughters, 3 grandchildren and a love for Beach-combing.
Brought up in Orkney, a brief career in the Merchant Navy, I have been living on the island now for 30 years. What started as a wee hobby has become a full time one!
Each beach find still feels like treasure, with floats waiting patiently to be painted all round my home and garden.
I do many commissions of families boats, especially fishing boats, sail boats and motor cruisers find their way onto floats too though. Please message the page if you are interested in a special commission. There are a selection of floats that can be personalised in the shop too.
