a friend bought me an 'authentic dreamcatcher' that wasn't even close. To be completely fair, he bought it on a reservation but not in an actual store.
I've made several over the years, and other than usually using a metal hoop instead of willow, I use sinew for the web, natural feathers and glass, bone and wooden beads.
I still gnash my teeth when I see hot pink or florescent green ones in the stores. they're just gawdy.
