Decorative piece
« on: April 22, 2017, 09:09:32 pm »
I made this to be offered up as a door prize at a traditional shoot I'm attending in the morning.



Grapevine ring, hemp cordage and wild turkey feathers were used in the dream catcher. One of the shafts is arrow wood the other is wild rose,  fire singed for camo effect. Both have eastern two fletch, self nocks, and sinew for wrappings. Stone points were graciously provided by OutbackBob. Thanks again Bob.

I was considering adding a small purple sheened mussel shell between the the feathers at the bottom. Would that add to it or border on making it too busy?

Added two shells instead. It looked more balanced this way.

Nice job on that one. Mussel shells kinda look like eyes, now.
