"When I was a young child, my father made me a Dreamcatcher. He harvested a willow branch and created a hoop, then weaved, added beads and created the most mesmorizing item I own. I have cherished and carried my treasured dreamcatcher with me over the years.This is where I get the passion of creating art, dreamcatchers and jewellery." - Amanda Crocker
