dream flutes

Dream Flutes are a result of my own dreams. Dreams of flutes that come to
me in occasional dreams. They show me what they look like, what they
choose to sound like and the visual theme that is unique to each.

I carve these flutes after I have seen all of the details needed to begin and
only after very serious consideration. Usually these flutes stay in my careful
care but occasionally someone presents themselves to me and I understand
that it is they who a particular Dream Flute is destined to journey with.

As I continue to evolve these dream flutes I will photograph them for your
viewing.

Please visit often.

This close up of a special dream flute honors an old teacher of mine.
The head of the flute features a wolf with a Bone carving of a lighting
strike issuing from his mouth which you blow through followed by a
Pliated Wood Pecker saddle and Peyote bead stitch wrap.

The eagle on the opposite end honors Wambli. His head is inlaid silver with
turquoise crushed stone. A carved wooden turtle sits atop the flutes back
which is an honoring for the Earth Mother.

This flute in progress is called "Kokopelli Rides The Peyote Water Bird".
Carved of White Cedar from a lightning strike in the Mohoosuc
mountains of the White Mountain National Forest in Maine.

The other end or "foot" of the Water Bird Flute is the Water Birds head.
His wings flow back into the body of the flute along the playing holes. very
ornate carving is involved in these flutes which takes a very long time to
complete. The sanding takes even longer!
