Each gourd rattle is custom crafted.  Original spirit & power animal images are hand painted on either side.   Symbols for the four elements and symbolic colors for the four cardinal directions are painted on the rattle using black acrylic paint and leather dye.

Corn, rice, and/or gourd seeds are mixed with quartz crystal and amethyst to give the rattle it's sound.

Many different kinds of feathers are available.  Cow hide (that has been blessed and thanked) is used.   Black and chestnut horse hair has been loving donated by Alexandre and Apple Jack, the warmblood & the thoroughbred.

Semi-precious beads: Labadorite, Pearl, Lapis, Carnelian, Tiger Eye, Aventurine, Malachite, Amethyst, Quartz Crystal, Turquoise, Blue Topaz, Garnet, Citrine, Peridot, Leopard Jasper, Hematite, glass, and Pukah shells.    

Special requests (if you have certain things of your own you'd like integrated into the rattle... feathers, beads, etc.) at no extra charge.

The cost for each rattle is $135 (check or money order) plus actual shipping.  Please call or email with questions regarding how long it will take to create and ship.

Small, portable, hand-held rattles are available for $35.  They feature a hand painted paw/foot print of your choice, a leather top, and are filled with the same ingredients as the large rattles.
