Dream Catchers!
« on: January 02, 2012, 01:29:49 pm »
I have been having a hard time getting workshop time since Autumn was born so I decided to make some Dream Catchers like I used to make as a kid since it is something I can do from the couch.  ;D ;D  I started making them when I was like 11... The first few I made the net was more of a spiderweb pattern because I couldn't figure out how to make the traditional webbing and one night the technique came to me in a dream... no lie.  What do ya think?  Thanks for looking.  :)

Very nice.
Bowmakers are a little bent, but knappers are just plain flaky.

Thanks guys!  I have made them with willow branches and weaved muscadine vines, I got lazy with these and used brass rings from Hobby Lobby wrapped in suede lace.   :)

Nice DCs Josh; made many myself, just started a set of 20 before Xmas, including some 3D ones. I always use willow for rings.
