My lovely duo of dreamcatchers are authentic North American. I was so lucky to be given these for my birthday on our Flickr meet up in B.C. by dear friends Monique, Coleen, and Charlotte-thank you for this special gift ladies, I treasure these :) x
Authentic, traditional dream catchers are handmade and crafted only from all natural materials, measuring just a few small inches across in size. The hoops are usually constructed of a bent Red Willow branch covered in stretched sinews. Wrapping the frame in leather is another common finishing touch for "real" dream catchers.
Native Americans believe that the night air is filled with dreams, both good and bad.
When hung above the bed in a place where the morning sunlight can hit it, the dream catcher attracts and catches all sorts of dreams and thoughts into its webs. Good dreams pass through and gently slide down the feathers to comfort the sleeper below. Bad dreams, however, are caught up in its protective net and destroyed, burned up in the light of day.
May all your dreams be good ones x
A different take on the ziggurat's at UEA. Using the multi image but walking a step and taking a shot (repeat) the full length of one ziggurat. Layered, reducing opacity of each layer and cropping.
My first attempts at the Pep Ventosa method of taking photographs 'in the round'
