Watcher of the Tide

I move where water meets sky.

I follow the pull of the moon, and the rhythm of the currents.

My eye never closes. I watch over you while you rest.

I catch what drifts too close in the night, and return it to the darkness of the deep ocean.

Peaceful Guardian

Watcher of the Tide is a freeform crochet dreamcatcher that lives in a dreamlike space between sea and sky.

A fish flies over the moon, symbolizing intuition, transition, and the ability to move freely between emotional and spiritual realms. The moon is formed from a natural shell button, grounding the piece in ocean energy and natural cycles. The crocheted blue netting represents the sky — a dream field — while the wave-like stitches at the bottom evoke the motion and emotion of the sea.

The fish is shaped with internal wire and then crocheted with multi-colored, hand-dyed wool yarn, giving it structure while maintaining fluid movement. Its eye is an evil eye bead — always open, never blinking — traditionally believed to ward off bad dreams, harmful intentions, and intrusive energies.

The main ring is wrapped in recycled sari silk, adding history, texture, and softness. A macramé hemp hanger and tassel anchor the piece, finished with a glass bead on the hanger and a porcelain bead on the tassel — subtle markers of transition between above and below.

This piece is meant to protect sleep, honor intuition, and remind us that guardians can be gentle.

Care & Display Instructions

This piece is a one-of-a-kind, hand-crocheted fiber artwork made with natural and recycled materials. Gentle care will preserve its color, structure, and symbolic integrity.

Display

  • Intended for indoor display.

  • Hang away from direct sunlight to prevent natural fibers and hand-dyed wool from fading.

  • Best displayed in a calm space such as a bedroom, meditation area, reading nook, or entryway.

  • Avoid areas with high humidity or direct heat sources, which may weaken natural fibers over time.

Handling

  • Handle gently by the hanger, not the crocheted netting or fish.

  • This piece is decorative and symbolic — not meant to be pulled, stretched, or used as a functional net.

  • Keep out of reach of pets and small children.

Cleaning

  • Do not wash or submerge in water.

  • To remove dust, gently shake or use a soft brush or dry cloth.

  • Spot cleaning is not recommended due to mixed fibers and internal wire structure.

Storage

  • If storing, wrap loosely in acid-free tissue or cotton fabric.

  • Store flat or gently coiled in a dry, cool place.

  • Avoid plastic bags, which can trap moisture and cause fiber damage.

With mindful care, Watcher of the Tide will remain a protective presence and visual story for many years.
