'The Spirit of Dreaming' Dream Catcher

The Spirit of Dreaming consists of a 3” metal ring wrapped with blue suede, representing the brilliant night sky full of awe and wonder.  I then incorporated many clear glass beads that, from the countless, brilliant expressions of stars and planets, one can only imagine existing beyond our ability and wonder. Reach for your dreams, finding unique ways to express your life’s desires, hopes, and dreams. The beautiful white feather represents the purity of our existence. We are souls from the pure white light source, existing for the sole purpose of love.

The white variation also consists of many of the same features as above; however, the white version is expressing the full purity of the bright white light from where we all originate.

Live life and follow your dreams!

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.
