Punched Tin Cupboard Door and Dreamcatcher

 
Here's the punched tin design of my newly constructed cupboard door.  The door is 18" x 35" with the design centered and just a little high on the door.  The water drop is a design I've used a lot over the years for my artwork, and the four interconnected circles that meet in the middle is my symbol for my four daughters meeting me in the middle.
 
 
 
 
This is a dreamcatcher in the works.  Metal ring wrapped in leather lacing, and synthetic sinew.  The ring is six inches in diameter and it takes about ten feet of both lacing and sinew for the project, leaving about a foot or so of each left over.
 
 
Here's the finished raw dreamcatcher.  I say raw because it as yet has no dangles or beads.  Typically there would be beads threaded onto the sinew at different points of the developing dreamcatcher, but this one is for display and demonstration purposes, so is just Plain Jane.  Adding beads, dangles, feathers, etc. personalizes it.
