What is a dreamcatcher?
According to legend, dreams are messages from sacred spirits. It is said that the hole in the center of the web allows the good dreams through while bad dreams are trapped in the web until they disappear in the morning sun. Dream Catchers are believed to bless the those who sleep with pleasant dreams, hope and harmony throughout their life.
Traditional Tear Drop Dreamcatcher
Dreamcatchers with a difference.
I'm Martha, and my dreamcatchers are based on traditional designs, though many are made with non-traditional materials. Instead of leather and sinew, I use colored and textured acrylic yarn, cotton threads, beads, trinkets, found shells, feathers (from non-endangered species), stones, twigs and other items I can incorporate into my designs. Each one is unique.
