So the stick is the journey, and the the blue paint is the ocean of dreams, and the copper wire is the truth and the power, and the five feathers are the soul and the spirit, and the whole thing is $2,500 and you’re out of your God damned mind.
You know, this reminds me of the South Park episode where the boys are building the ladder to heaven because they needed to get to Kenny because he had been holding their winning ticket for a candy shopping spree when he died.
Fuck catching dreams. Electrify those copper wires with a handy extension cord, set it up in the yard, and catch all the birds unlucky enough to land on it! Think of all the lucky feathers you’ll get then!
$2,500?!! I can’t believe I spend so much time worrying if 36 bucks is too much to charge for a crocheted cowl when I could be out spray-painting tree trimmings in the parking lot. Damn!
My nutty sister-in-law has a smaller version of this she bought a few years ago at a craft fair in Toronto. I think she got sucked into by the description like this seller has. It sits at the top of her stairs and looks like shit!
bird catcher. that’s what i thought. but yankboffin is a wo|man of genius. imagine how much you could save every week, if you could just hunt in your own backyard. instead of giving all your money to fucking walmart. fuck, you could set up your own business – selling quality meat to neighbors. after some months of profits you can start getting some solar panels on your roof. the bird catcher helps you to live an eco-friendly life. its like a pot of gold.
fuck, i think that dream catcher rory got me infested.
The kinds of bird feathers he got makes me think he walked around a zoo and picked up whatever was lying around, and then made up a nonsensical description of them. Because doves are assholes.
This definitely looks like something a business major was forced to make in their 3-D college sculpture class. Being a business major, they decided to sell it and hopefully never see it again – killing two birds with one stone! Then they got their philosophy friend to write the description. Brilliant!
It’s the hidden costs that’ll really get you if you buy this…an extra 20-50 grand in fines for possession of two illegal raptor feathers. Too rich for my blood!
Nice of him to decide what an actual cultural icon really is. I notice he doesn’t list his objects as genuine Native handicrafts, so he’s not Native. Awesome he could clear this up for those confused Natives who thought THEY, being the people who invented them, knew what a dreamcatcher really was. *facepalm*

For $20 I’ll grab my chain saw and hack this piece of shit into firewood. At least you’d get something for your money.
