Reflections Photography : Creating the Dreamcatcher

/
0 Comments
Today I began to make the dreamcatcher, which is the base to display my photography work.

The hoop's material was wooden as I thought this would be sturdy enough to hold photos and anything else going on it. Blue suede lacing was then wrapped tightly around the outside.  To create the web in the middle, waxed nylon string was used as to maintain the structure and design, the string has to be strong but thin.

Stages for Creating a Web

Tie string on outside. Place three fingers on side of hoop and wrap string around the them. Then remove fingers and pull the end of the string through the loop left to create a knot. Continue this around the entire outer edges.

Final web

After the main body of the dreamcatcher was made I decided to create some weights using beads to hold down the photos and make them less flimsy but still movable. 

"Invisible" blue string for hanging photos and weights.

Now that the dreamcatcher base is finished all I need to do now is mount the photos and think about designing some feathers out of the polaroid materials.
