Sleeping Giant Card

Sleeping Giant Card by Abbie Lois

A6 Greeting Card with sleeping woman mountain/Cailleach na Mointeach illustration.

Inspired by the legendary giant/warrior in Irish and Scottish mythology, who some know as the anglicised Finn MacCool. He was said to be the leader of the Fianna – bands of young roving hunter-warriors, as well as being a seer and poet – but he’s probably most famous for his role in creating the Giants Causeway in Ireland. There’s stories across Ireland and Scotland as to where his final resting place lies, and one of these places is said to be Tomnahurich hill in Inverness, where he rests alongside the Fianna, in wait of the day when the land is in need of them to fight once again.

Original illustration digitally printed on to lovely 300gsm off-white Tintoretto Gesso paper, with a dappled finish. The back of the card tells the folklore inspiring the piece.

Comes with a brown Kraft envelope, with a compostable bag for extra protection.

Blank inside, perfect for writing your own message.
