Pictures by David Callier, 1999-2000
I create dreamcatchers, medicine wheels and medicine shields--leather-wrapped hoops with a piece of buckskin or other leather stretched taut across and then decorated. The leather usually doesn't cover the whole hoop, so it makes a very interesting variation! I have bone and glass beads, feathers, charms, stones and all sorts of other decorations, and many types and colors of leather, as well as many sizes of hoop. Custom work is always an option!
Note: All items with (***) before the title are ones I have at my home and can ship immediately upon reception of payment.
Dreamcatcher - 10" black suede-wrapped hoop w/ white artificial sinew dreamweb w/ blue/green/white/black/clear glass (not plastic) pony bead accents on a large, weathered deer antler (4 points). Is decorated with grey and white pigeon feathers and grey/white/black/blue parakeet feathers on the actual web. Does not hang, but rather is to be set on a table or other flat surface. Very nice variation on this classic design! ON HOLD $24.00
