Another of my Dream catchers for children, this one I used deer hide, animal bone, fish vertebrae, fighting cock feathers, small beads, polished stones and a turquoise turtle which is a sacred animal to some Native Americans. This catcher is for a boy, all the elements are for someone who will need to be strong. The fabric used as a backdrop is a piece weaved by Natives of Guatemala, their textiles are unbelievably beautiful.

I was noticing the fabric as well as the marvelous dream catcher. I have to tell you though that I disagree with the gender biased elements. I think in this world that females need to be just as strong in their own way as males do. Nope, not a feminist's view, just an observation as a person :) Nice work, my friend.

It,s so well made, Bryan! I think this is my favorite of them. Can"t tell you why, it speaks more to me. Those guatemalan fabrics are striking; I love them too and they make a very colourful background. An excellent capture. :)

Hi Bryan,
Another great dream catcher, I like the construction,
I'm not sure about the focusing, I think the background is as sharp or sharper than the dream catcher,

Thanks for sharing

great colors in here, especially the background is this made by hand by these people? But if I do understand it correctly every one has his own dream catcher specially made for you??

Hello Bryan..I guess I had not seen one of these beauties by you..Its just wonderful! All the natural elements...what a special thing to make...and that it is for someone who needs strength...I should get one...that's for sure. We've had a family crisis going on for a long time, and I need to be strong...this is just lovely! Thank you for sharing it with us...verena

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

Oh Bryan this is just beautiful. It is a wonderful work of art which you have made and to know the story behind it makes it even more special. The backdrop of the fabric hanging - is beautiful as well - both things have been crafted with love of nature, history and art.
