I've included a quick snap shot of the projection end of this rattle wand. The main materials used are as follows: Pin Oak wood, a large male rat skull, a young alligator foot, a slice of High John the Conqueror root, grey colored fossil shark tooth, deer leather, black fox fur with a portion of the mouth of the pelt, brass and copper. The skull has been given mock eyes made of orange and blood red fired glass beads. The rattle sound is created by holding the wand upright and shaking the brass cones against the oak and each other.
Now I have one final bridge to cross or question to solve -- how to offer the rattle for a new owner to find? I have a lidded pine wood box set aside that the rattle fits well into, and it could be decorated. It seems like a good idea to offer the rattle with a protective box, especially since this probably isn't an item that would be used on a daily basis. I have also considered the concept of an upright display stand made of wire, but that would leave the rattle exposed to dust and general energy debris. That could perhaps be solved with an acrylic display case engraved with protection symbols. I could also assume that a new owner may already have a storage solution in mind. It's this matter of deciding how to present the rattle that's needed to finish up the project. The right choice will make itself known -- of that I am certain. So, I await the next step in this rattles journey with excitement, wondering how it will evolve and grateful that I was able to take part in its creation!
