Surprise!

No, it's not another one of my off the medication threads.

When I kill a turkey very little goes to waste.   All the wing, breast and tail feathers go to an older gentleman in Florida who happens to be full blood Cherokee.  He's involved with the youth through cub scouts and at his church.  He makes things out of the feathers I give to him.  Some he gives as rewards in the cub scouts and some he just gives away to kids at church.  

His eye sight and health isn't what it used to be but he is still is a very giving person.  I've been giving him all the feathers from birds I've killed for about five years now.   He goes to church with my Mom and Dad.  He knew last week that they were headed up this way and got them to bring  something he made for me.    He said it's a dream-catcher, I'm going to have to do a little research on that one.    I had no idea he was doing this and really didn't expect anything in return for the feathers, but I'm glad he made this for me.  I know you can probably buy fancier looking ones that are factory made, but I think he did an excellent job on this one especially considering he's nearly blind.   I'll have to straighten out a few feathers that got out of shape from transporting it.   Anyway here's the dreamcatcher he made for me.

Yes you could buy one in the store but this is hand made by a friend that knows what a dream catcher really is, you have been honored by this gentleman, congratulations!!

I did a quick search on a Dreamcatcher.  Pretty cool deal.

The twine in the center represents webbing like that of a spider web.  The webbing catches dreams and holds bad dreams in the web where they disappear with the light of day.  Good dreams are allowed to pass through and they slide down the feathers to the sleeping person.
