| Large Brown Dreamcatcher |
 GBP 9.99
The dreamcatcher is said to ward off nightmares. All dreams are filtered through the web. The good sip through the tiny hole in the middle of the web. The bad dreams get tangled in the web. When the morning sun hits the dreamcatcher, all the bad dreams are distroyed. I found a poem by an unknown author, which explains things perfectly...
The dream catcher has been made for many generations where spirit dreams have played. Hung above the cradleboard, or in the lodge up high. The dream net catches bad dreams, while good dreams slip on by. You see, bad dreams become entangled among the sinew thread. Good dreams slip through the centre hole, while you dream upon your bed. This is an ancient legend, since dreams will never cease, hang this dream net above your bed, dream on, and be at peace. - Author unknown When making dreamcatchers, I try to observe and respect the traditions of the Native Americans. I therefore try to make my dreamcatchers using materials that are as near as possible to authentically native dreamcatchers. I use neutral coloured, artificial sinew to make the web of the dreamcatcher. In the centre of this dreamcatcher is 2 turquoise, chip gemstones. I have wound soft, suede, leather lacing around the dreamcatcher hoop. At either side of the hoop I have tied a length of suede leather, and on this leather I have attached feathers and beads. The feathers used are dyed turkey, dyed maribou and duck. The beads used are faceted glass. There is a tie on the top of the hoop to help place the dreamcatcher above your bed. The hoop of this dreamcatcher is 5 inches in diameter. From the top of the tie, to the bottom of the longest feather, the dreamcatcher is 18 inches in length.
