Title: Dream Catchers!
Post by: Josh 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.  :)

Good story.  Mine are never round, but tear dropped.  I use willow, how bout you?  Ain't done it in years, maybe oughta give it a try again.  I've got a big one on the wall here I never finished, it's about 5 yrs. now. Just a big hoop half webbed w/ a long im.sinew srant hangin' down.  huh..mm..

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.
