Description

The listing, Hand Made Dreamcatcher has ended.

This is a 9" diameter, 13" long, hand made leather wrapped dreamcatcher.

Dream catchers are one of the most fascinating traditions of Native Americans. The traditional dream catcher was intended to protect the sleeping individual from negative dreams, while letting positive dreams through. The positive dreams would slip through the hole in the center of the dream catcher, and glide down the feathers to the sleeping person below. The negative dreams would get caught up in the web, and expire when the first rays of the sun struck them.

The dream catcher has been a part of Native American culture for generations. One element of Native American dream catcher relates to the tradition of the hoop. Some Native Americans of North America held the hoop in the highest esteem, because it symbolized strength and unity. Many symbols started around the hoop, and one of these symbols is the dream catcher.

I am a Native American and truly believe in the power of the dream catcher ! As a child I had bad nightmares until I started sleeping with my dream catcher...I would love to have one made for my daughter ....do you do that ?

May 1st, 2011 at 10:25:29 PM PDT by

Absolutely!

I am glad it is made from wood. I am watching it and hope to bed near the end if I have enough points. Thank you for answering quickly.

HI: I got the beautiful necklace from you of Jasper and Unikite I believe. I wear it a lot.
What is the hoop made from? I made mine from a weeping willow tree branch but most of them you see today has a metal hoop wrapped with somehting. Very Pretty but wonder what the hoop is made from.

May 1st, 2011 at 9:55:52 AM PDT by

Noooooo metal!!! It is wood wrapped in leather that I cut by hand. I feel that i Dreamcatcher is not only art but a spiritual item as well and That is how I treat the creation of such :)
