Last year a dear friend was side swiped by a truck as she walked home from our day at the Fiber House. This lead to a long recuperation and lots of physical therapy. I had just started a new pine needle class where we designed a modified dream catcher. I made this one for my friend to help her with her recurring dreams of waking to see the grill of a truck on top of her. It seemed to have worked for she is much better today. This dream catcher is begun on an 6 inch ring and with the added Muhly Grass makes the ring about 11 inches. I added pygmy date palm inflorescence and various other dried seeds. This model has been great for my beginning students. It gives them a chance to practice sewing the coils without having to worry about shaping a basket. The finished project is beautiful and gives the student encouragment to try another!
