METAL HANDCRAFTED YES BAND LOGO DREAM CATCHER
Hello, This Yes band logo metal welded dream catcher has been sold... I will make another very similar in style and aesthetics... I ask for 7-10 days.
Dream catchers are one of the most fascinating traditions of Native Americans. The traditional dream catcher was intended to protect the sleeping individual from negative dreams, while letting positive dreams through. The positive dreams would slip through the center of the dream catcher, and glide down the feathers to the sleeping person below. The negative dreams would get caught up in the web, and expire when the first rays of the sun struck them.
The dream catcher has been a part of Native American culture for generations. One element of Native American dream catcher relates to the tradition of the hoop. Some Native Americans of North America held the hoop in the highest esteem, because it symbolized strength and unity. Many symbols started around the hoop, and one of these symbols is the dream catcher.
This is my "Metal" variation of the Dream Catcher, rather than dreams it captures energy from the inscribed inspirational and motivational word cut inside the metal hoop. In this instance I have used the band YES logo as the Energy source.... Outside the metal hoop I have metal feathers. I make a wide feather for the middle...to give the feathers a little balance, I make the end feathers in a pair. In the pictures I show the stages of work and progress... from fine steel to ultimate colorful natural hues and tones obtained with a torch after hours of grinding... In a couple pictures I have the YES Dream Catcher paired with a LED ZEPPELIN "Runes" one that was commissioned by a prior client, and a Van Halen Diver down
The inspirational, motivational Metal Catcher can be used in one of three methods.
1). As a wall decoration 2). a hanging mobile 3). an outdoor wind chime
No machines used here... I personally hand cut the Dreamcatcher from 1/4" metal using a plasma cutter.... There is no art in mass production.... aesthetically the Metal Catcher works well indoors or out, It is an immediate eye catcher and fun conversation piece.
I make my Metal Catchers with natural colors that reflect multiple hues and rich tones from the metal... The process I use to obtain these "natural" colors from within the metal is by "grinding" the metal meticulously various times over, while simultaneously adding various swirling patterns. I then gradually run my torch along the metal and with the varying degrees of heat various hues appear from the once silver plated metal. I then apply various coats of a clear gloss for an added "shine" from the reflection of indoor lighting or outdoor Sun rays.... If desired, I can also paint specific colors at your request.
I can make your inspirational, motivational "Catcher" with ANY words, logo, design, hobbies.. that you desire. Listed below are some words for ideas previously used on past sales.
