I have been making dream catchers for about 15 years now and recently just got back into doing this craft. I didn't realize how much "stuff" I still had until I pulled it all out.
In the picture are three cases of beads, do-dads, silver trinkets, feathers, cat gut (synthetic), hoops, leather stringing and a suede covered hoop. I am working on two right now, one is going to obviously be turquoise, the other is red. When they are completed I will take a shot of them for posting here.
This is a Native American item originally, but has been so commercialized that I think the Native Americans are distancing themselves from it.

Enjoy,

Ooooo, I love dreamcatchers!! I will have to have you make me one sometime. I could sure use the powers that they possess to get a good nights sleep soon. :D I love the pic by the way. I enjoy doing crafty things too. I cant wait to see them finished.

Never been a 'crafty' person.
ReplyDeleteI haven't the patience for it.
But those look nice, J.
Neat picture.

Awesome - that's quite a box of beads you have to choose from there, Jules. :D
ReplyDeleteWe'll be needing a pic of the finished one, too, in a bit, then. :D
