After my recent trip to the Utah and Arizona, I was feeling the inspired by the brilliant colors and native spirit of the southwest. I got a little caught up in the vacation mindset and bought a dreamcatcher from a little mountain shop. I built one from a kit when I was just a little guy (one of the many craft kits that actually resulted in a finished project), so when I got home, I decided to make an adult version (in a totally SFW way). The result is these linocut prints in yellow/orange and gold.

| Very Boho |

| Gold, or dorado |
Both colors are available to purchase in the Etsy shop,
Lightheart Paper Company,
orange and
gold.
Unlike a lot of my other prints, this one I drew entirely by hand, no Adobe Illustrator involved. Here's the sketch, which started in pencil and ended in sharpie.
Originally I had intended to add some text at the top saying "Sweet Dreams," which you can see ghosts of in the sketch, but in the end it seemed better to leave it off. I may add it as separate stamp in the future, that way it can be printed with or without the text.
I'm going to hang one or two of these above my bed with the real one in hope that I can stop having the dream where I am in school but don't know where I'm supposed to go!
