Indian Legend of The Dreamcatcher
Indian Legend of The Dreamcatcher
For as long as I can remember, I've been attracted to Feathers, Shells, Indian History and Nature's Beautiful Gifts. My attraction to shells is more of an obsession; I can not walk the beach without shelling. I have so many containers filled with so many beautiful gifts from the Ocean. including feathers dropped by gulls and pelicans.
My connection with Feathers may even be stronger. Some cultures see feathers as a gift from their Angels. Indian cultures see them as gifts to be cherished. I have also been told that when you find a feather, a loved one in heaven is thinking of you. After I retired from Nursing, I stood looking at containers filled with shells and feathers and decided it was time to take them out and turn them into something beautiful.

Indian Legend of The Dreamcatcher
The night is full of both good and bad dreams. When a dream catcher is hung above the place where you sleep it moves freely in the night air and catches the dreams as they drift by.
The good dreams, knowing their way, pass through the webbing while the bad dreams, not knowing the way, are caught in the webbing and destroyed at the first
The night is full of both good and bad dreams. When a dream catcher is hung above the place where you sleep it moves freely in the night air and catches the dreams as they drift by.
The good dreams, knowing their way, pass through the webbing while the bad dreams, not knowing the way, are caught in the webbing and destroyed at the first light of the morning sun.
Many Tribes and Native peoples have adopted Dream Catchers into their culture. Though the designs and legends of Dream Catchers differ slightly, the underlying meaning and symbolism is universal and is carried across cultures and language barriers.
Why?
Because Everybody dreams

I Love the story they tell.

So...if you have an idea of what you would like, give me a call or email me and we will make your piece of art together.
