Custom Dreamcatchers

Macaw Feathered Dreamcatcher made for a fellow Parrot Head

Parrot Feather Jewelry

Otomi Indian traditional- styled neckpiece replica with macaw feathers and cowry shells and choker is made from macraméd hemp. This piece was commissioned for use as a teaching aid and for dance regalia as was the parrot feathered Aztec head dress shown at far right.

 

Aztec Head Dress

Made with tail feathers from my Blue & Gold Macaw and domestic pheasant. An exquisitly hand-stitched Mola from Mexico decorates the head band.

The overall height measured 24 inches!

In the above shot, you see the layout of feathers as they were being prepped for attaching to the head band.

Sentiment & Symbolism

The Vine Dreamcatcher shown at right is my personal dreamcatcher and is one of the first I ever made. It has a muscadine vine hoop bent into a teardrop shape along with a snow-white quartz arrowhead I found unbroken and in pristine condition -- pretty rare for something that might be thousands of years old!

Whenever I need to mull things over, I wander in the woods. This arrowhead, like many I have found, revealed itself after I'd made a determination on whatever had been on my mind that day. As if to say, "Okay, here's your sign. Now go make it happen."  On my dreamcatcher, it symbolizes the Grace that has touched my life as a result of those decisions.

To remind me that expecting different results to the repeated application of identical rationalizations was the epitomy of insanity, I weaved my three wedding bands of marriages past, two ended by choice, one by cancer.

The feathers also hold a special significance. The *Pink Flamingo feathers represent my Parrot Head loyalties and were given to me by a close friend of my daughter's. The two center feathers are *Red-tailed Hawk & Great Blue Heron.

* Due to strict state & federal regulations prohibiting the sale of wild bird feathers, I do not use exotic feathers in any of the dreamcatchers I sell. However, if you have feathers of your own that you would like to have added to a dreamcatcher, I will happily oblige. more...
