Pandora Na'vi Dream Catcher

Here I have created a Na'vi inspired dream catcher I call "Pandora Dreams". I used the brightly colored feathers worn by Neytiri, and hand painted the two long guinea fowl feathers to represent her arrow feathers. Bone and clay beads adorn the waxed leather cords, accented with iridescent pony beads. Sinew was used to form the web, strung with a turquoise colored shell. This was also used to tighten the feather quills to the waxed leather. Blue plant sprigs were added to the yarn weaved grapevine hoop. Size is approx. 7" across and 17" from top of hoop to bottom of longest guinea fowl feather.

I dusted the top half with a mixture of aqua glow pigment powder blended in an airbrush medium. I painted both sides of the two guinea fowl feathers with glow in the dark paint to replicate the look of Neytiri's arrow feathers at night. The bioluminescent photo was taken while the dream catcher was hanging in front of my black light. It glows strongly once charged under direct light for several minutes.
