Dreamcatchers & Feather Jewelry

Art Deco Dreamcatchers?

You will discover much creative license taken in my original dreamcatchers with respect to design and materials. The color combinations, feathers (or lack thereof) and accent components I prefer to work with are not exactly what you might expect to find adorning a Native American-inspired dreamcatcher.

Current Events on My MSN Spaces Blog

My artistic goal is to bear a piece of work that reflects and honors the fundamental nature of the traditional Native American Dream Catcher while at the same time incorporating contemporary elements such as colors schemes, themes and components to complement a wider range of home decor and motifs, thus the term "Art Deco".

About the Native American Dreamcatcher

A dreamcatcher (or dream catcher) is a circular-hooped object once fashioned out of willow branches and other fibrous plant materials and strung with sinew or fibers to imitate a spider's web. The exact origins of the Dreamcatcher are unclear but the general consensus is that they were first made by the Ojibwe' Indians for tying onto a baby's cradle board to entertain and soothe the little ones, just as a crib mobile is used today.

 Deamcatchers are known to have been used by the Crow, Cochiti, Cree, Laguna, Zuni Nations and the Huichol Indians of Mexico. Representations of similar webbed creations have been found in ancient murals throughout Central America;
Native American dreamcatcher legends tell us that fear-provoking dreams are captured in the dreamcatcher's web where they are held and burned away like the dew by the  first light of day. Benevolent dreams flow through the hole (s) and are guided by hanging tassels or feathers to gently deliver messages of guidance and wisdom to the sleeping ones. More dreamcatcher lore.
