A custom rattle for Jadewolf, who has an affinity for pronghorns. :) Deer rawhide/leather, pied crow feathers (which are non-native and legal), glass beads, and coyote fur. It is a round rattle with dried corn inside and has a really fantastic sound to it.

As someone who studied under a Sioux medicine man for a couple years, did the pow wow circuit and has seen a LOT of NA artifacts, I have to say that I think any dancer in the circle would be proud to carry this piece.

Not only beautifully done but it also shows great respect for the traditions it is based on.

Washte'do!

Gorgeous. How much do you charge for something like this?

( No Subject ) Posted: 4 years ago

It depends on if you would like one with one of the glyphs I have already done or a custom one - most of the cost of the custom is in the design work. The rattle itself is very time consuming as well, but nowhere near the design time.
If you're interested, drop me a note. :)

Thank you! I really am in love with art that you can touch and play with. I paint a lot, and have art on my walls, but there's something exceptionally special about being able to pick up a piece and use it. :) Rattles and drums are some of my favorite things to work with! I find them incredibly inspiring to paint.

Lovely! ^_^ I've been wanting to make a rattle using a turtle shell I have, but I've no idea how to work it into one. Your rattle looks awesome!

Thank you! Turtle shell rattles are wonderful - it's not too hard to make one. You just glue leather (soft, pliable leather like buckskin works the best for this) pieces over the 'leg' holes - you can color match the leather to hide it a bit (paint or dye it) if you like. Depending on how traditional you want to be, you can make glue or use something like epoxy (which is easier, but plastic). Some people make a sort of turtle head (carving or from leather) for the head hole. Otherwise just leather covering.
Then find some nice small pebbles, dried broken corn, glass beads, or anything that has a nice jangle and secure those inside, with a stick coming out. With a little experimentation you can make something with a really wonderful sound to it!

Oh! ^_^ I'm pretty fortunate. My turtle shell is the size of my palm, and there's no seperate holes for the arms and legs, just the head and the butt. So just grab a relatively stable stick, decorate the handle, stick an end in, glue around it and put the noisemakers inside, then seal the top? Sounds good. :D YAaaaaaaaay, thanks. ^^ I've had this shell for years.
