Bast + Blog — dreamcatcher

Dreamer No. 10/100 - aaand apparently we're all in on the greenery! So, I'll be honest, this one is my least favorite so far. I played with it for a long time and tried different accents and elements and it just never quite worked for me. There are pieces that I really love (like the half wrapped hoop) and I'm sure I'll come back to the climbing vine, but overall I struggled to figure this one out. But I definitely learned a lot from it, I'm glad I tried this design, and I'm very curious to see what you think!...

Dreamer No. 9/100: one of my absolute favorite parts of this job is playing with colors so this was a total joy to make! It's not perfect (but what is?) - I love pom poms but they're kind of pain to get right and I'm not sure I would use the varied sizes if I made this again and the webbing detail is perhaps too subtle. But I love how it reminds me of a hot air balloon and I love how happy it is!

Dreamer No. 8/100. I think this is the biggest dreamcatcher I've ever made! I've always been drawn to more industrial elements in my work (like the copper pipe on which I usually build my larger dreamers and fiber hangings), but I've really been enjoying pushing myself into using branches and greenery and other natural accents! I'd love to know what you think! See more details in stories and on the blog and let me know your thoughts here in comments!

Day 7 of 100 Days of Dreamers! Back to the petite 2" size for today with a possible new dreamcatcher favor design! I've had requests in the past for these tiny dreamers with hanging elements, but for various reasons I've never actually designed one, so this was really fun! Let me know what you think! Would you use these as favors for your wedding or a baby shower?
