| Deer hoof rattle. I collected the
hooves from two deer in the temperate rainforests of the Olympic
Peninsula of WA (I will end up there someday--best place I've
encountered to live with and off the land). The tiny hooves to the
left came from a starved fawn that I found on the shore of Lake
Crescent (near Port Angeles). Along with some tecates (the CA
clapper sticks, not the mexican beer), it is great fun to make music
with the 5th and 6th graders who come to the outdoor school for a
week.
(The tag says, "Rattle - Deer hooves fastened to deer leg bone
with buckskin and deer hide glue. Made by Storm - 6 hours. Mar
2005.") |
