Finally completed. Just a noob one. It's hanging by the window right beside my bed. Great World City in the background~
ignore the unglam reflection.
My mum asked if I'm trying to cast some sort of black magic on her. -.-
No please, dreamcatchers are meant to protect us from nightmares.
The Ojibwa believe that a dreamcatcher changes a person's dreams. According to Konrad J. Kaweczynski, "Only good dreams would be allowed to filter through… Bad dreams would stay in the net, disappearing with the light of day." Good dreams would pass through and slide down the feathers to the sleeper.
Another version from the same article was, "Nightmares pass through the holes and out of the window. The good dreams are trapped in the web, and then slide down the feathers to the sleeping person."
*OBVIOUSLY FROM WIKIPEDIA*
From what I googled, I think you're not supposed to have more than 1 hanging in your room and you're not supposed to make it for yourself - it's supposed to be received as a gift so I'll see who I feel like giving it to or maybe I'll just leave it hanging in my room.
Don't really believe in them but they just look nice and I was bored + the materials were rather cheap and easily obtained.
The ring's like $3?
Then the strings - use whatever you have/want HAHA I used Megz's yarn for this.
Feathers come in a pack at like $2+?
or you can pluck them off birds or feather dusters.
The knot used throughout is basic and repetitive so~
Have fun if you're going to try to do it as well LOL
June hols are damn sian - though it's not like I need it to study but it means more people probably studying at cafes in town (I know I used to do it too.. >< ok, I just hope they won't crowd up the entire cafe. Leave me some space to read and do my crafts with Megz thanks HAHA)
