74 - UK Shetland - Kit Mowat

Dear Joanne, My name is Kit Mowat and these boats have sailed from Ollaberry in the Shetland Isles to Caithness. They are mainly made using photos printed on plain paper. With a few additions.






These images were taken in the Baltic 2 months ago. The image seemed timeless. It could have been taken any time in the last 100 years in any northern country.




The image of the killer whales was taken in Yell Sound, Shetland. We spent about 1 ½ hours with a pod of 7 whales. The houseboat is printed using various seashore images and finished with peerie animals.



Several years ago we painted our boat in rainbow colours. This is The Welcome and my husband fishing mackerel.



‘Tammie Norries’


Ships in bottles! Kit labelled each boat with it's own ship-in-a-bottle, on the back is the info!
