Item Description
Dreamcatcher, by Lenny Novak, 2013. Hand made from whitetail deer antler, turquoise bead, parrot feather, on an elk antler base.
About the artist -- During one of Lenny Novak's journeys, he saw his first dreamcatcher made of a grapevine and fishing line. It fascinated him. He began learning all about it and the Ojibwa tribe that was credited with its development. He learned the many stories that went with it and its uses. Then he sought to combine the nature that he loved with the dreamcatcher that caught him in its web of wonder and bring it to a more natural life. Seeking to make a "loop to loop," which is the web most people associate with dreamcatchers, and without instruction, he began to weave how he thought the web was made. What occurred was a mistake. Over twenty five years later his now perfected mistake appears in three museums and has brought to the forefront a dreamcatcher considered fine contemporary Native art.
Generously donated by the artist, Lenny Novak of Lonewolf Studio. Lenny Novak's dreamcatchers are currently on exhibit and for sale at Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum.
