This handcrafted linocut print is inspired by a heartwarming Scottish folktale from the Isle of Skye, beautifully retold by storyteller Daniel Allison in Scottish Myths and Legends and featured on the FairFolk Podcast. The story follows a young girl who gets lost berry-picking in the misty mountains and discovers the Dreammakers, an elderly couple who craft dreams from deer cheese. Wild birds—snow goose, merlin, osprey, crow, snowy owl, bald eagle, and peregrine falcon—carry these magical dreams across landscapes, nestling them in the heads of sleepers.

The print features mountain pinnacles iconic to the Isle of Skye, herds of deer, the Makers of Dreams, and feathered messengers of the night. This folkloric artwork invites wonder, imagination, and reverence for the unseen world, celebrating the magic of dreams, bird symbolism, and Celtic-inspired mythology. Perfect for those drawn to Jungian dream work, folklore art, mystical wall décor, handcrafted linocuts, and nature-inspired spiritual art.
