Hawaiian-style Dream Catchers <3
Being the daughter of a Hemp farmer in Hawaii left me with plenty of fresh hemp stems to get creative with, with this foundation established I've found myself collecting shells, fishing line, and feathers throughout life's adventures. Upon mental stillness, I've birthed 20 dream catchers now. I finished my first dream catcher in October 2022 and still enjoy weaving them to this day. Dream catchers to me, are an intimate expression of observance and love for the receiver. A token of appreciation and protection.
The following are catchers you can adopt today :)
I've created a mesmerizing blend of nature's treasures found through the time-honored tradition of woven dream catchers.
"Mano Lalakea, a name that evokes the ocean's mysteries and breathes life into this captivating blend of nature's treasures.
This dream catcher is more than décor; it's a portal to the dream realm, where the sea's whispers dance with the magic of the night.
At its core lies an authentic shark tooth, a symbol of resilience.
The fin-like hoop, an homage to the Hawaiian White-tip reef shark, is meticulously handcrafted from our homegrown hemp—a cherished family tradition.
The web, intricately woven and adorned with captivating tiger's eye, is recycled from fishing lines once cast into the deep, preserving cherished memories of the days out at sea.
a repurposed fishing swivel and the vintage line strongly present the feather adornments. holding a legacy passed through three generations of Bolton fishermen- a tribute to time's passage.
striped pheasant feathers, tenderly secured by dark gray velvet mgambo seeds (Hua Weleweka) and a goat vertebrae, to symbolize life's intricate connections.
In 'Mano Lalakea,' discover a creation bridging nature's wisdom with the enchanting dream world—an extraordinary dream catcher for an extraordinary person."
"These remind me of bowerbirds. They make really cool circular/arch nests and the males decorate it with anything pretty they find to get the girl to like them. I love it so much :,)"
