Before the ice storm clobbered my willow, I made dreamcatchers.
It will be a year before I can make more I think.
These are a couple I made- One for my grandson and one for my son.
I use craft wire- copper is my fav - and gemstones, various ones. Each has a meaning.
As my son is a hothead that doesn't sleep well, his is for patience and peace lol!
My grandson was having nightmares so his is mainly protective-
The hoops are from my willow. Dove feathers - real ones- no Wallyworld stuff.
Takes a bit of time- 4-6 hours depending on how well my fingers work that day.
I like em.

My grandson's

My son's - he got a double dose lol!

I bet pheasant feathers would catch all the colors of the rocks----any special reason why you used dove feathers? Just curious--- Nona

Doves are my favorite birds- Mourning doves in particular because they sing to me each day

I went with the dove feathers because I knew they were real- not dyed or anything.There is a lady who raises them so fresh supply always available just from where they molt. I have my sister collecting her rooster feathers for me- and yeah I'd use pheasant as long as I know they are real and not dyed and junk.
There is only a Wallyworld and a very small Michaels in my area to choose from. Their feathers are not worth buying.
So many other bird feathers are prohibited so unless I just stumble upon them, I am limited.
