Dixie Canyon Pop Up Success!
I’m still on a high from this weekend’s Holiday Block Party! It was an incredible turnout, non-stop super busy all day with happy families! I was there with my best helpers, my brother-in-law, Jim and my nephew, Niko. They helped me set up early and we got the best location, right in front. I was there with 13 dreamcatchers (The bird and the butterfly), 40 children’s books (Drawn for You) and several one-of-a-kind artwork (Paige & Ginger) and all was so well received. I am so grateful to my friend, Vicky who organized and set up the entire event and invited me to participate. She was also my first customer, purchasing all four of my books and a dreamcatcher! Thank you to all the kids, parents and friends who came out and helped make the day a wonderful success!
Dixie Canyon Holiday Block Party
LA friends! I will be popping up at the Dixie Canyon Holiday Block Party on Saturday, December 7th 2024 from 2-5 pm on Dixie Canyon between Ventura and Valley Vista. If you're in the valley (Sherman Oaks/Studio City area), please come by and say hi!
I will be one of 25 vendors, so there will be plenty of fun things to pick up for yourself and for your holiday shopping! Bring the kids, this event is family friendly!
I will be there with a selection of elevated dreamcatchers that I make, sage and set intentions for love, luck, abundance along with some of my children's books (which I wrote and illustrated) as well as artwork of Paige & Ginger, two fun-loving dolls living the nudist lifestyle having great adventures around the world.
Hope to see you there!
Custom Dreamcatcher Celebrating the Life of Charlotte Gray
I was recently commissioned to create a custom dreamcatcher to celebrate the life of Charlotte Gray, who passed away from a rare genetic disorder at the age of 13. She loved butterflies and the color pink, so I made sure I incorporated them.
There is so much symbolism in this piece: white and pink feathers, rose quartz and six butterflies. I am so honored to make this to honor Charlotte and I hope ththis brings a little peace and healing to the Gray family.
ROSE QUARTZ
Love, compassion
A stone of unconditional love and infinite peace, rose quartz is the most important crystal for healing the heart and instill feelings of peace.
WHITE AND PINK OSTRICH FEATHERS
Protection, safety
As the purest of colors, white has long been associated with spirituality, innocence, and divine guidance. White feathers have been linked to the presence of angels, serving as gentle reminders that we are being watched over and protected.
Delicate and nurturing, pink feathers symbolize love, compassion, and tenderness. They are associated with the heart chakra, inspiring emotional healing and self-love.
BUTTERFLIES
Rebirth, transformation, freedom, joy
Six butterflies attached to the branch, representing each member of the Gray family. The butterfly on the right is the largest and higher on the branch than the others, representing Charlotte in her full energy, but still very much a part of the entire branch.
Gwendolyn
GWENDOLYN. I created something a little different using the leather strips I picked up in Tucson this year. My mom saw it and wants it, so it will be a gift for her.
X-Small (4" diameter) dark grey wall hanging with multi-colored leather strips and agate center
Stones: Agate
Meaning: Agate is beneficial in self-analysis and uncovering hidden circumstances that might interfere with well-being. It promotes self-acceptance and confidence, encouraging the speaking of one's own truth, overcoming negativity and bitterness of the heart, by healing anger, fostering love, and lending the courage to start over. It is useful for any kind of trauma, stabilizing the aura, while eliminating and transforming negative energies. Its cleansing effect is powerful at all levels.
Little Witchy Tote for Renowned Energy Intuitive!
I recently had a little Instagram exchange with the great Marie Manucherie, Energy Intuitive specializing in clairaudience, clairvoyance and medium communication. Turns out she loves the Little Witchy tote bags and I just sent one to her. I’m absolutely tickled that she she will be sporting this around town!
I have been a fan of her for years, when I discovered her audio book on how to connect with your spirit guides and have been a loyal follower ever since. I get so much insight and clarity from her weekly energy tips and “what if” questions to the Universe.
Thank you, Marie and enjoy your LW tote!
Rebrand!
Dream Catch Repeat is now The bird and the butterfly!
I’ve been thinking on this name for a while and so happy it finally made sense to me. It has a special meaning:
Bird for my dearly departed dog Brody, who’s nickname is Bird and butterfly for my beloved papa who recently passed away a few months ago. I see him every day as a butterfly now and really feel he’s around all the time.
Two Custom Girls
I was commissioned by my good friend, Marina to create two dreamcatchers for gifts for her friends, Katya and Sasha. Both are small (6” diameter) with faux suede.
KATYA
Two-toned light and dark grey with white and black and white speckled feathers with three rose quartz stones in center.
Rose quartz meaning: Rose quartz is a stone of pure love. It assists in awakening the heart to its purest loving potential and excels in attracting new love, romance, and intimacy which can be used to develop closer bonds with family and friends. This awakening of the heart also provides deep feelings of personal fulfillment, truth and contentment. It assists with spiritual attunement to the Earth, Universe, and the Divine which allows one to deeply link their own heart to the hearts of others.
Rose Quartz carries a feminine energy that encourages compassion, peace, tenderness, healing and balance which brings forth feelings of nourishment and comfort. This stone’s vibrations cleanse the emotions and the entire auric field, healing the heart of its wounds. It promotes the release of tension and stress, dissolution of anger and resentment, and dispelling of negative energy, fear and suspicion, providing a rebirth of hope and faith.
SAHSA
Light tan cord with white and tan feathers and agate center.
Agate meaning: Agate is a wonderful gemstone for balancing the mind, body, and spirit as well as helping you to slow down and center yourself. It transforms negative energy into positive energy. Agate enhances mental function, improves concentration, enhances perception and analytical abilities. As a stone of harmony, agate helps in the strengthening of relationship, eases anxiety, soothes and calms, healing inner anger or tension and creates a sense of security and safety as well as balancing the mind and spirit.
Encouraging a sense of reality and pragmatic thinking, agate promotes clarity in decision making, self-acceptance and confidence, encouraging the speaking of one's own truth.
Agate has a strengthening quality that can help you in your daily tasks. It will help you balance your energies and direct them appropriately. It will help you feel empowered and in harmony with yourself.
Seed of the Sol Show in SF
I’m so thankful to be a part of the “Seed of the Sol” art show at my friend DeeDee’s space, Hunt & Gather in San Francisco! We kicked off the show on Sunday, September 19, 2021 with art, dreamcatcher and music!
I have 14 pieces in the show that will stay through December. If you’re in the San Francisco area, please stop by and check out the space. There’s lots of new art and home goods to inspire and uplift you.
Custom Wall Hanging for Barb
I worked closely with Barb to create a very custom piece to hang in her beautiful Ontario, Canada home.
This gal is very large (14” ring diameter) but more like 48” across and roughly 90” in height with the branches. She wanted them to branch up and to the left. It was a challenge finding a stick that was so specific but I was able to piece two sticks together to achieve the look that she wanted. She also requested some turquoise color to be added and fortunately I had some turquoise blue leather from the Tucson Gem Show!
The center stones are a large piece of agate and smokey quartz between the branches. And the last piece was of course, saging it and setting intentions for Barb.
Kate at Home
Check out the custom dreamcatcher I made for my oldest friend, Kate (since 1983!). She just moved into a beautiful new home in Ventura with lots of light, a cool breeze and an ocean view. She said the dreamcatcher was the first thing she hung up!
Beaded Wrap Options
The beaded wrap can be a necklace, a bracelet, a belt and now, a hat accessory! The possibilities are endless with this fun wrap!
Ginny’s New Home
My beautiful friend Tiffany and her even more beautiful daughter came by and took GINNY home! Tiffany is a fellow artist, and look how lovely the dreamcatcher looks alongside her painting.
I hope GINNY brings her so much love, abundance and a bit of magic into her life, it’s saged and set with those intentions!
Check out Tiffany’s art at tiffanygrahamart.com!
Shannon at home
The lovely large and in charge dreamcatcher, SHANNON has a new home in Silverlake!
She looks perfect in my friend Lynn’s bedroom! How dreamy!
Modern Wall Hanging in Silver
Meet BELLAMY. She’s a unique, modern wall hanging with three 7” diameter silver rings with black and grey faux suede and white feathers. No stones for this gal as the rings can’t handle the weight.
But her name is special. BELLAMY is a girl's name of French, English, Irish origin meaning "fine friend".

Big Wall Hanging for a Big Birthday
My dear friend Lisa just turned 50 and I knew she wanted a large wall hanging to hang above her staircase in her Brooklyn Heights home. So I started working on this special gift for a special friend back in July. It’s a gold round with faux black cord, brown suede cord with large black and white feathers. I made this one a little different from the others, without sticks or stones and a geometric pattern on the ring for a minimal, modern feel.
Dimensions: 20” diameter, ~84” height
Custom Wall Hanging for Mark
I made a custom wall hanging for my friend, Mark’s big birthday. He wanted something light in color to hang next to his bed that would be a nice contrast to the dark wall. I used light faux suede cord, white and neutral colored feathers layered in with five rose quartz stones in center, for love. I decided to keep this minimal, so I kept the stick off since be too much since it will hang from the light.
Mark’s bedroom, the dreamcatcher will hang from the light on the right side
