the convenient form below to contact me today and together we'll design something special just for you. This is a really great way to recycle all those pretty but unusable broken jewelry findings lying at the bottom of a jewelry box.
Metal Dreamcatcher
 This all-metal dreamcatcher with gemstone and glass beads was
ordered to attach to the tank cover of a Native American themed custom Harley-Davidson motorcycle. It
needed to be fashioned with strong, durable and weather resistant components
Since the bike would be ridden regularly and is made from heavy gauge aluminum wire with lighter-gauged sterling silver wire used for the dreamcatcher's web. Beads are solid copper, glass and turquoise & the feathers are silver-plated metal. |
Feather Jewelry
 Traditional
Otomi Indian neckpiece replica with macaw feathers and cowry shells. The Choker is made from
macramé jute. This piece was
commissioned for use as a teaching aid and as dance
regalia as was the parrot feather Aztec head dress pictured below.
Aztec Head Dress
 Shown here is a representation of an Otomi/Aztec Indian-styled head dress. It has very large
blue & Gold Macaw and pheasant tail feathers with a beautiful hand crafted Mola
featuring imported from Mexico covering the head band. In the
above shot, you can see the layout of feathers before being
permanently attached to back of head band.
The overall height
measured an impressive 24 inches! |
Sentiment and Symbolism
 This
one is my personal dreamcatcher; 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's centuries old. I wander whenever I need to mull things over and this
artifact, like many of the others I've found, wouldn't
reveal itself until after my mind was made up. As if to say,
"Okay, here's your sign. Now go make it happen." It is
symbolic of the Grace that has touched my life as a result of those decisions. |
To remind me of how I got to the here and now, I added 3
gold wedding bands from my three marriages, all ended now -two by choice, one stolen by cancer.  Each
of the *feathers holds a special significance as well. At the right and left sides, representing my
Parrot Head loyalties, are actual Pink Flamingo feathers
(how cool is that??) which were gifted to me by one of my "adopted" children and the two center feathers were
found and put aside especially for me by another very special lady in my life.
The rust-colored feather is from a *red-tailed hawk, the other, a blue heron.
