JaxFlow has been hard at work putting together some new poi. You must be thinking, "But, Russell, those are dreamcatchers." And to you I would say, "Yes, sir or madam. You are correct. But," I hesitate, seeing you hold your breath, "These are also poi." Wut? That's right. JaxFlow has made dreamcatcher poi. WHEE! Each one is COMPLETELY hand made. Like... Except for the fact that we didn't cut the wood circles... weave the cloth... or the strings... and we didn't melt down the plastic or metal for the beads... or the feathers... and kill and then tan the hide of an animal... We didn't do that. But I figure that was obvious. We did, however, make the dreamcathers themselves. It's pretty dope, if you ask me. And you probably are. |
Now, you may be thinking, "But won't it wobble and stuff in the air?" And it doesn't. It stays entirely in the plane of spin. There is a swivel attached to the handle and to the dreamcatcher itself, allowing for free rotation of the weight.
Each handle and tether is made of leather. The strings are made of hemp. The beads are made of whatever they look like they're made of. And the cloth is made out of... well... cloth. I don't know if it's cotton or polyester or whatever, but it IS made out of dreams. Because you've got to made dreamcatchers out of dreams. True story...
Anyway, these will be on sale at FLAME Festival. See our booth for more designs. We have a very limited supply since all of them were hand made.
Big thanks to Theresa for coming up with the idea and doing a massive amount of work on these. Also, thanks goes to Jessi for putting some of them together for us, too.
More pictures after the break.
