Many martial art masters throughout the ages also expressed themselves and their skill, as well as refined their skills through various types of art. Whether that was painting, dance, calligraphy, woodwork, fiber work or any other artistic expression that could be practiced, the aim was a continual pursuit of personal discovery and self refinement through the world itself. For me I have always enjoyed the arts. I painted for years and today I create handmade dream catchers.
I have always loved creating things of beauty from natural materials that are filled with energy. All my life I have been fascinated by tribal craft from Native American to Viking, Celtic to the Asian continent and so on. Through the years I have studied and crafted many unique pieces of nature Art utilizing the many natural materials found in the wilderness, while holding the respect and memory of the people’s who brought these creative patterns through the ages. I see the practice of Nature Arts based upon ancient cultures to be a link, a bridge from today’s world to the world in-which once was; something to keep alive memory and the beauty of those cultures.
With that in mind, I offer handmade Dream Catchers for sale, both single hoop and double hoop here through Element Mountain in Vermont. I use natural, high quality materials like bone, horn, semiprecious stones, glass, leather, wood, seeds, nuts, shells, feathers, fur, hair, resin, and metals. Nothing plastic is found on anything I create. I place great care in what I craft and every piece is unique, I follow no patterns. Instead I allow the natural materials speak to me and guide my hand to take the shapes they form to best. The hoops are made from a variety of materials I harvest from the forests in Vermont; beech, ash, maple, oak, willow, pine, hemlock, grape, birch, aspen and more.
Here you will not find what you see in so many places these days – inexpensive cheap slapstick manufactured “dream catchers” from some Chinese factory made with synthetic pieces and glue. Most all dream catchers you find on sites like amazon and ebay are made in factories in countries like Thailand and China, or from a kit and sell for a few bucks, and you get what you pay for.
The ones I make are Real, Original, created with Respect and Passion for the origins of the materials and truly reflect that reverence in their presentation. It is very simple, if I made it and do not like it, I do not sell it. I believe in craftsmanship, something the modern world is losing to the fast paced demands of instant gratification.

“I ordered a double hoop dream catcher from White Wolf after receiving a cougar claw necklace he made for me. I was so impressed with the necklace and its quality I knew I had to have him make me a dream catcher. When I received it in the mail I was so taken by its beauty and energy! It’s so beautiful and nothing like the mass produced one I bought in a gift shop last year. Since I’ve hung it up I’ve received more comments on it than anything else in my house. It’s an amazing piece of work! Thank you White Wolf.”

“I recently received my custom dream catcher from White Wolf and was truly blown away. I have come to realize that will always be my reaction when receiving something hand made from Wolf. Outside of the superb craftsmanship and authentic look, it felt so me! Ordering anything custom from White Wolf allows him to apply one of his very rare to find esoteric skills of sensing your uniqueness, and applying it to your order making it a powerful and beautiful item just for you. Everyone that has seen it has asked me about it and how to get one. I hung my dream catcher over my bed and it not only looks amazing but seems to bring me peace, grounding, strength and sometimes even a better sleep “

“While unwrapping the newly arrived double dream catcher, quiet waves of energy emerged from it. “Interesting,” I thought, “these energies feel as if ‘they are me’.” My opinion has not changed.
Netting, woven within encircled willow vines, forms a void in its center. It is a perfect oval. Within this egg-form hangs a small dream catcher. Suspended here and there are small polished stones and trinkets of etched, painted bone spools, anchored by a Canadian goose feather. Almost like a memory box, all in a swirl of netting.
White Wolf, you have done it again! You have blended a traditional concept into your own multidimensional storytelling with nature’s material. How can several circles form so much meaning? It will take some time to unravel the secrets woven within them and their accompanying treasures.
What more can be said than White Wolf’s dream catchers are works of art, filled with energy and mystery for the recipient to discover. Thank you, White Wolf!”

“What a wonderful gift arrived in my box- It is a rare day when I open a something I gift myself with. Such joy and delight and magic and wisdom and love we all encoded in your craft. Thank you so much, it is very special and dear to me. I placed it in front of the window where I work and I am going use it as a reminder to be balanced and connected.”

I received this beautiful dream catcher extremely quick and absolutely love it! It is extremely well made, with such loving attention to detail and high quality materials, the pictures don't even do it justice! Now, to get a bit esoteric for a second: I bought it for a friend who was being plagued by nightmares every night for weeks. I guess I kinda believed in the idea of dream catchers but I really bought it more as a loving gesture and not really expected it to make her bad dreams go away... Well, guess what, that very night after I had put it up over her bedside the nightmares actually, really did stop and haven't come back since!! I am still a little bit in disbelief over it but I can't deny that Element Mountain's dream catcher really did do what it was supposed to do. : ) I would give 6 stars if I could! Thank you!
