In the quiet depths of night, Shadow stands watch, his gaze calm and unwavering. Strength and stillness meet in his form, his eyes holding the quiet fire of protection and loyalty. He is presence without noise, a steady reminder that light is never lost, only waiting to be seen.
Across from him in the heavens, his companion, Astrid, Star-kissed Watcher, gazes upward, her light reflected in his eyes. Together, they form part of our Night Guardians collection, energies of grounding and guidance. Where Astrid uplifts, Shadow protects. Where she whispers, he watches. Their spirits meet in perfect balance, night and illumination intertwined.
Shadow carries the energy of courage and guardianship, reminding us that our strength often lies in silence, and that light is found through stillness of heart.
Each Eldara print is created through a sacred, intuitive process in our Worcestershire studio with devotion, presence and care. The foundation begins with a richly textured Gelli plate background, formed through slow meditative layering. Seasonal foliage, wildflowers, seed heads and herbs from our Eldara garden are pressed gently onto the plate, capturing nature’s quiet beauty. Spiritual motifs are stamped and stencilled with intention before a hand drawn pen and ink illustration is transferred and merged with the layers beneath.
Printed on 300gsm cold pressed acid free watercolour paper, each piece carries a pulled border edge, is hand embossed with the Eldara mark, signed and dated, and released in small heartfelt editions.
The archival inks and fine art watercolour paper are of gallery quality but not waterproof. Keep your print dry and protect it behind glass to preserve its texture and depth of colour.
Available sizes A4 (21 x 29.7 cm) or A3 (29.7 x 42 cm) – please choose your size in the drop-down menu. Standard frame sizes are widely available to frame and mount in your chosen space.
Packaging Enclosed in a compostable Nativia bio-film sleeve with a recycled grey kraft backing board, kind to the Earth and safe for your art. To keep your print looking its best, we recommend displaying it out of direct sunlight and framing it behind glass. Each one is made to last, not just to be seen, but to be felt.
At Eldara, we believe art is a spiritual companion, a silent presence that anchors, soothes and uplifts. Every print carries the energy of the natural world and the intention of the maker.
