These rattles have been made from rawhide and furs, crafted using antler, bone or wooden handles, and filled with seeds or river stones. Each one carries its own voice ā shaped by the materials, the spirit of the animal, and the place it comes from. No two rattles are the same.
Every material is used with care and respect. We work only with hides that are byproducts of existing systems or otherwise would be wasted, ensuring that nothing is taken unnecessarily and each animal is honoured deeply through use.
Each rattle is entirely handmade, from the tanning of the hides using natural bark and oils, to the shaping and binding of the final piece.
Here is a small collection of examples. Please get in touch if you have a specific idea in mind ~ Iād so love to bring it lovingly to life for you.
You can also have a look at my shop, where you can sometimes find rattles that are ready for their new homes.
*Available rawhides include Red Deer & Roe Deer (others sometimes available on request - just ask). These hides are all by-products of the venison industry, or salvaged roadkill.
*Available bark tanned furs include Fox, Hare, Roe Deer and Rabbit. All of these are salvaged roadkill.
