7 " Hoop with
Genuine Leather & Artificial Sinew Spider Web Dreamcatcher Design with Personal Fetishes,
Snowflake Obsidian and a Buffalo Tooth. The turquoise chip represents the spider who also represents the Creator.


"Grandfather" refers to Sacred Spirit. He was inspired to name this piece after carefully choosing the oldest and most worn Buffalo tooth to add to this dreamcatcher.


"Knowing and appreciating his talent, I asked Patrick "Animal" to create a special piece for my father for Christmas using some very personal fetishes. He did a wonderful job and I can't wait to see what he does with another personal piece I've asked him to do that will be dedicated to my Mother who is in Spirit!"     - KEW

Gifted
Genuine Leather & Artificial Sinew Spider Web Dreamcatcher Design
Wrapped in  Raccoon Fur with Turquoise (Dyed Howlite),
Wolf Claws, a Buffalo Tooth and Duck Feathers.

This one came about as I was moved to "gift" a dreamcatcher to an aunt of mine as I was leaving my house to go visit her. Found out she was going to be down visiting for a few days, so after I got home from my visit, this is what the Creator led me to make for her gift, and to give it to her the next day.

 


These two skulls that I painted with the four directions symbol are to use in my own dreamcatcher and mandala creations.


This duck feather that I painted the four directions symbol on was a gift from the Creator.


Granbaby

This one was made for my eldest daughter's first child on it's way. Keeping with the Native tradition of gifting one from the grandparent for the child.

 

This is a personal piece. The blade is one I bought at the flea market and destroyed the original handle. then replaced it with the right side jawbone of a Coyote.
