"Spider's Web" dream catcher
Posted: Wed Mar 12, 2014 5:32 pm
I cleaning my room when I found a willow switch that I had bent into a circlet last summer. All dried up now, it was stiff and it was begging to be made into a dream catcher.
I've never made a dream catcher before, but I know that there are some really nice weaving patterns you can use. And yet....I ignored them all and completely winged it.
I used willow, white thread, and tail feathers from an old rooster that I once had. (R.I.P. Ben) I called it the "spider's web" dream catcher because it looks more like a rough spider web instead of a pretty weaving. (Although I know that some spiders' webs are woven MUCH prettier and neater than this, lol)
Sorry if the pictures come out sideways!

And neatness shouldn't matter too too much in this case. The only time I would think that it truly matters how it turns out looking, is if by some miracle you found a shaman who could teach you the ~original~ design for a dreamcatcher from their tribe, and only then would it matter because of the significance of the design. Regardless, it's very pretty, and maybe for practice, you could simply make a few more and find a pattern of your own that you like?
