Dream Catchers

Dream Catcher: a Native American traditional object made using leather strips and then decorated with personal or sacred items, such as feathers or beads. The circular web is hung above one's bed to ward off or "catch" bad dreams. Dream catchers have recently gained so much popularity. In addition to their traditional use, they can also be found in the form of home decor, jewelry and even printed as a piece of art. I've always been fascinated by dream catchers and have found them to be so beautiful. Dream catchers have also brought inspiration to my own designs and I even have one hanging in my own home. And for those who love DIY projects, you can make your own dream catcher that reflects your own style.
