When I lived in Arkansas years ago,I was introduced to making the Dreamcatchers from the Ouachita Indians in Hot Springs where I lived. I am an honorary member and I still am, and I enjoy making all types and sizes of Dreamcatchers.

 

     The legand of the Dreamcatcher is that the dreams are messages from the saccred spirits. The dreamcatcher represents the web of life and it's job is to sift the dreams of those sleeping nearby. Bad dreams are caught on the web and disappear in the morning sun. Good dreams pass through the center hole and are fullfulled in the sleepers destiny.

 

     I left Hot Springs Arkansas 20+ years ago and I am now back home. I will continue to make Dreamcatchers in my spare time as I always have.
