Mousehole Cat Dream Catcher

Gill has nearly finished her Dream Catcher based on the

story of the Mousehole Cat for her final piece for City and Guilds.

The ideas and techniques are so varied and colourful.

Great fun too!!

Gill has been making a Dream Weaver Design 

for her final project for the City and Guilds Creative Textile Certificate, after

enjoying making and exploring Dorset Buttons. 

Each circle is exploring a different 

dream of 'The Mousehole Cat'.

See this previous post for more of Gill's wonderful work and the

first instalment of 'The Mousehole Cat'.

I just love this Cornish Tale. 

Mousehole Cat's Dream Catcher

 Gill has really enjoyed doing Creative Textiles City and Guilds Part 2.

This shows in her depth of research and detailed pieces and samples.

Here, is a  Smaller Dream Catcher a section of her Mousehole Cat's Dream Catcher.
It is going to be a large Dream catcher with smaller 'bubbles' or dream catchers inside.
The one above being one of them.
It was made using the top section of a fisherman's keep net
and then lots of mixed media textile work.
The origina idea came from Gill's exploration of Dorset Buttons.
