I am an enrolled member of the The Georgia Tribe of Eastern Cherokee.
Also, I am a USAF Veteran - served my country with honor.
I design and make Authentic Cherokee Hand Made dream catchers, artifacts and other products here in the USA.
All of my products are designed with color, durability, quality and fashion in mind.
I have chosen BEST quality supplies from USA suppliers for my products so I can provide the BEST items for your enjoyment!
I wanted to design 'different' dream catchers along with 'traditional' designs so I could express my love for color and color combinations.
When I am designing and making my dream catchers, I take into consideration: Color, Symmetry, Detail, Emotion, Thought, Motivation, Alignments, Feeling.....
I Play COOL - SMOOTH JAZZ - ACOUSTIC - SOFT ROCK music when I design and sew them so that GOOD vibrations and energy is incorporated into each dream catcher. Dream Catchers are feng shui instruments that require tuning while making them so music is important in the process.
I have been asked why I use 'plastic' beads (made in the USA). I love the color. Although I do have lots of Glass beads. So, if you want glass beads, you can custom order and I will use glass beads for you.
I also offer 'custom' designs (weddings, baby showers, gender reveal, funerals) so if you need something special for a special ocassion or area of your home, simply give a convo and I will try my best to acommodate your request.
Each dream catcher comes with a Certificate of Authenticity attached along with The Dream Catcher Legend. On the Certificate of Authenticity is the name of the dream catcher along with the Signature of the Artist.
Due to COVID 19, we are very busy with online orders, we ask you to be patient at this time as your order may take a bit longer to make. Thank you for your understanding, Jasmine.

Native American dreamcatchers
Hello all!
As I said in my previous post, I enjoy dreamcatchers and have a few in my home, which are featured below. I even picked dreamcatchers as my first website logo 🙂 I enjoy looking at them twirling in the breeze. So many options, so many materials and colors! However I like the more traditional ones better, no crazy colors or designs. Although I do have one that is more colorful and was locally made. You can see it below.
Meaning of Native American dreamcatchers
Dreamcatchers have been part of the Native American culture for centuries and their legend or story is a great one. As you can see, dreamcatchers are in the same shape as the medicine wheel, a circle, to exemplify the continuity, the cycle of life and its different phases. As we remember, we start in the East position (child) and end in the North position (Elder). In the middle of the circle, you find a web with an “eye” or the hole in the middle.
The story has it that the good dreams would slip through the hole in the middle and slide down the feathers to fall on the individual sleeping (you are supposed to hang it above your bed). Bad dreams would be caught in the web, never reaching the sleeper. Thus the dreamcatcher is thought to protect the individual sleeping and bring spiritual dreams. However, you might have heard a different version of the story. Indeed, a different version says that good dreams were caught in the web and passed down to the sleeper while bad dreams went through the hole never reaching the sleeper. Whichever version you have heard, the end goal remains the same: to filter the dreams of the sleeper so that only the good ones would be had. In other words, Native American dreamcatchers are guardians of sleep, protectors against bad dreams. I can personally say that since I have hung dreamcatchers in my home (even if they are not above my bed), I have had quite vivid good dreams. Below is the tiny dreamcatcher beside my bed. You can find a similar one on Etsy here. It is about 3 to 4 inches long and 6 to 7 inches long. Very delicately made.
Legend of the dreamcatcher
Authentic Dream Catcher Made By Native American
If you start reading about dreamcatchers (a good site is this one) you will see a few legends out there. A version that you will most likely come across is this one. During a circle (talking circle, see here for my previous post), a prayer was said and a circle was made using Mother Earth’s branches. The branches were woven into a circle and a web using sinew and placed above the infant’s head. The dreamcatcher above the infant’s head would keep bad dreams away, bring spiritual dreams and provide strength and inner wealth. A gift from Mother Earth herself.
Lakota legend
A different version of the legend (but with the same message) can be found within the Lakota culture. Once upon a time (don’t worry it is not a Disney romantic story…), a Lakota spiritual leader was high on a mountain and had a vision. In his vision, a carrier of wisdom was disguised as a spider, and who has he spoke, began weaving a web in the middle of the leader’s earrings (which had feathers and beads). He discussed the cycle of life and stated that there are both good and bad forces in our world. And that if we follow the good forces, we will go to good places. However, if we follow the bad forces, we will be led in a wrong direction and might get hurt. Forces can then be helpful or detrimental. Once the spider finished spinning its web, he gave it to the leader and told him to use it to bring the good forces in the lives of the people. That the web would let through the good ideas and catch the bad ones, trapping them in.
So there you have it, two versions of the legend. Both carrying the same message. One of protection and strength. Below you will find another one of my dreamcatchers, this one actually made in Thailand. Very pretty and detailed. You can find a similar one on Etsy here. This one is bigger, altogether about a foot in length. Very pretty!
