|| weaving dream catchers ||

 

 

 

I have recently picked up weaving dream catchers.

Last fall when I moved into my home, I realized that a small sapling tree in the front yard had very limber branches. Growing quickly, it produces long spindling arms that are covered in little leaves. The small diameter and elasticity of the branches make them ideal for weaving together. 

|| One of these days I'm going to try to make a basket out of them. || 

 

Woven with hemp cord, this one is adorned with a bouquet of Oklahoma wildflowers || thistle, wild chamomile, golden rod and an unknown seed pod ||, a string of little buttery yellow seed pods, a green agate eye, and strips of vintage fabric.

 

This is a part of a series I have been working on now for several months. It is a study on reuse, harvesting, scavenging, and complementing natural forms. Other pieces in the study include other dream catchers, square, triangle, and pentagram frames, and ceiling suspended wood mobiles.

 

I am currently looking around Tulsa for the an art venue to host the show. I'm hoping to debut in the Springtime. We'll see how it goes.
