Storyteller

“Connected to the big mycelium, the Storyteller witnessed all of Earth’s legends and projects them into your mind with his third eye, so you may be inspired by them.”

What makes us human

Inspired by Stone Age cave paintings, this creature came to existence. Art like this empowers us to time travel and explore what our early ancestors have felt.”

Guarding stones

“This Trow, inspired by folklore of the Orkney and Shetland islands, is guarding a collection of ancient stones.”

Selkie

“The symbolism of the Selkie played a huge part in my self-discovery journey. Here she’s protecting a young pup, while being guided by an elder. Like her, we should protect nature.”
