Dream A Little Dream on Dreamcatchers

Album Link: Dreamcatcher

I have had a fancy to dream catchers for a long time. I remembered that I saw many dreamcatchers in a shop, in Old Town in San Diego, selling native American crafts in 2007, and I decided that I must have one someday.

I bought one, and made one later, and that was the  end of my fancy to dream catchers...at least that was what I thought.

Few years later, when I walked in the North Lane in Brighton two weeks ago, I saw dreamcatchers again in a native American shop. The dream catchers seemed to bring back my obsession for them, and I kept seeing them in all kinds of accessories (earrings, hair pins, necklaces...) since then.

When Emma showed me the procedure of making a dream catcher in her garden last Sunday, I knew it was a sign. Thus, the next day I went to Primark to buy a bunch of bracelets (10 for 1 pound) after class, and on my way home, I found a piece of feather which is perfect for  dressing a dreamcatcher.

Using the bracelet as the frame, tangled with shearing elastic, attaching a bead as the core, and don't forget to give a final touch with the feather; now an exquisite dream catcher is done.

The perfect work didn't satisfy me, especially when one of my classmate Valentina asked me to make one for her after she saw it. As a result, I couldn't help but making another 3 dreamcathers in the following days. Each work was one of the kind and unique; I put in much energy when I make one.

I'm not sure what to do with all the dreamcathers I made yet, but I'm pretty sure I'll make more in the near future.

I LOVE dream catchers!!
