herbs and stones


3 crows feathers that began my journey will be attached to her. (the rattle) 
The leather is not as stiff as I wish it to be although I wet it and put sand in it and let it dry completely.
Any ideas???

A mixture of herbs, stones, and flowers will be the rattle part. I would like to add a bit of corn and tobacco.

  2. Hi Nancy,

    Ha ha...I am smiling. It is pretty interesting?
    I think I needed a thinner leather??
    None the less it will have to do.
    The stones and herbs were a gift to me.
    I have always been fascinated with stones and the healing/energetic
    properties of them.
    thank you <3

  3. Wish I could help you but I've never done this before so I'm learning from you. I love the rattle mixture you've made up and how you've created this, step-by-step, with so much focus and intention. You'll be raising up some good energy with this. xoxo

  6. Hi Peggy,

    I think normally the leather used for rattles is thinner, but I am not sure.
    I will have to do a little research. I was trying to use what was on hand and although it works,
    there is still "tweeking" to do. Lol!
    I am looking forward to another full moon so the rattle can bathe in the light of it and absorb that energy.
    I am off to find some corn....

  7. Hi Handstories,

    As a child I was fascinated by kaleidoscopes and I think you are right...
    It does remind me of a kaleidoscope too.
    Thank you<3

  8. Hi Deb,

    I wish I could move faster on things, but it seems these days are consumed with so many other things.
    I have to remind myself to take a "little step" in the direction I want to go every day and then all those little steps add up.
    Thank you <3
