Handmade Native American Dreamcatcher

This dreamcatcher was made using an oak branch / vine wrapped in natural hemp cord, then laced with bleached hemp string.  The feathers used are dyed goose feathers, pheasant feathers, and dyed peacock feathers; and the beads used are genuine jasper, howlite, sodalite, aventurine and turquoise.

My husband and I learned to make these while still living in Western New York.  We both have Native American roots and although we were not born or raised on a reservation, we've always had a tremendous amount of respect for the Native American culture and have always admired their crafts and traditions.
