Christmas Dreams

For Christmas, my Nanny (Cherokee Grandmother) asked for me to paint a picture of a native american for her bedroom. She then mentioned how she'd missed having a shield and/or dreamcatcher in her room. I decided to put the two together and came up with this. Everything was created by hand. The ring was wrapped in leather cord; The leather in the center was cut and glued together then painted on with acrylic paint; The dreamcatcher was hand tied with sinew; Each feather and bead strung; and fur cut to size and affixed to the wrapped ring. It took a couple of days to create this, but it was worth it. I hope she loves it and it brings her peaceful dreams.
