'Sun' Spirit Catcher

The Power to Heal Sun will begin to come alive with the handcraftsmanship of my husband, Albano, who will create the 18” metal frame design for the Sun.

 With the frame complete, I will begin to wrap the strips of rich, deep golden suede that reflect the brilliant energy of the Sun.

The weaving process will then commence, using a beautiful honey waxed sinew that will be carefully woven into each of the eagle’s golden beaks, with one golden teardrop glass bead that will reflect the Eagle’s nares, symbolizing her powerful spiritual energy that will protect us.

Once the beaks are complete, I will then move on to the centre of the Sun, adding many golden ab finish glass beads.  These beads will reflect the healing energy of the Sun that sustains our souls from one day to the next.

The Power To Heal Sun is an 18” diameter, handmade dreamcatcher with high-quality workmanship using a handcrafted metal frame,  genuine suede, Sinew, and glass beads.

Below information is about the creation process and materials used.

Nancy A. Luis’s dreamcatchers are all handmade with high-quality materials using an array of glass beads, feathers, semiprecious stones, handmade wood features, shells, and many other materials she will weave into her work.

 To start with, Nancy’s dreamcatcher frames are all shaped and hand-welded with various metal thicknesses by her husband, Albano.

Upon completion, Nancy then wraps the entire frame with various strips of leather, suede, and/or deer hide.

From there, Nancy begins weaving, using a waxed string called sinew. Traditionally, sinew was taken from the Buffalo stomach and was used as a string for many purposes, such as the dreamcatchers.  Today, sinew is a synthetic material and comes in various forms.

Lastly, Nancy will write various stories consisting of dreams, intuition, or life experiences that are taking place on Mother Earth. 

We are all one - we must care for Mother Earth and allow her to revitalize for future generations to come.
