Handmade 8-inch Native American dreamcatchers
The 8-inch Indigenous dreamcatchers are large-scale, handcrafted pieces designed to offer a strong visual presence and profound symbolism. This diameter allows the weaving and materials to be fully expressed, making each dreamcatcher a centerpiece in the space.
Each dreamcatcher in this collection is handcrafted from 100% genuine moose leather and 100% natural rooster feathers. These creations are made by Innu artisan Dave Verreault-Thisselmagan , respecting Indigenous traditions and the land.
My signature as an artist – my creative process
Each dreamcatcher I create is handcrafted using a demanding artistic process, rooted in tradition yet open to contemporary aesthetics. It's my signature. It's what makes my pieces recognizable and consistent.
I select 100% genuine moose leather for its suppleness, durability, and the connection it represents with the animal. The design is intentionally minimalist to highlight the material, its balance, and its form.
The center is meticulously handwoven with natural thread. I incorporate semi-precious stones chosen for their presence and symbolism.
The feathers used are 100% natural: rooster, pheasant, partridge, bustard, goose, or other species depending on the artist's inspiration. Each feather is carefully selected to preserve the visual harmony of the artwork.
The design research is done in collaboration with Vicky, bringing a contemporary touch and a creative dialogue that enriches each piece.
Each dreamcatcher is guided by the inspiration of the moment. None are reproduced exactly. Each piece carries its own presence and its own symbolism.
Each dreamcatcher is a unique handcrafted piece.

A larger format for a stronger symbolic impact
The 8-inch format stands out for its ability to structure a space. It is particularly appreciated for master bedrooms, living rooms, or relaxation areas. Its size allows for a clear view of the weave and highlights the balance between the circle, the fibers, and the natural elements.
Authentic indigenous craftsmanship and fine materials
Genuine moose leather gives the dreamcatcher a unique strength and texture. Each piece is crafted slowly, with meticulous attention to detail and harmony. Natural variations are an integral part of the work and attest to the authentic character of Innu craftsmanship.
These pieces are designed to be strong visual markers in the home. When a sensor is sold, it is never reproduced exactly, ensuring you own an exclusive creation.
