Wolf Skull Rattle
Materials: Wolf skull, leather, wolf fur, wolf leg skin, glass beads, stone cabochen
Dimensions: 24" long
Description: This is quite possibly one of the nicest things I've made in a while. I started with a large old wolf skull and added some gravel to the brain cavity after plugging the holes with clay and adhesive. I used a dowel rod as the handle, and wrapped it in a wolf legskin with claws. I added another strip of wolf fur to where the handle and skull meet, and tied a binch of leather strips to both ends of the handle, with glass bead accents on some of them. Finally, I glued a piece of leather from a coat with stitching around the edges and a red stone cabochon to the forehead of the skull. This is a big rattle, fully 24" long! It's heavier toward the skull, and so the balance feels nicer holding the handle closer to the skull. The rattle has a nice sound, but not too loud, so it would be good for both indoor and outdoor work. I know this rattle isn't for me to keep, but it's tempting!
