Cheryl used to custom paint rattles. Dragonflies, butterflies, bears, eagles, turtles, gila monsters, hummingbirds . . . anything you want can be painted on a gourd rattle to make it your own unique one of a kind ceremonial instrument. Each rattle will have native pattern borders painted around it. One of our rattles is on display at the Stone Mountain State Park Museum, Georgia's largest tourist destination, in their Native American Art Collection. ) Cheryl NO LONGER PAINTS. THESE ARE DISPLAYED ONLY AS EXAMPLES OF THE QUALITY OF OUR ARTWORK.
This set of rattles was custom painted for a Navajo family that participates in the Gourd Dance. Each rattle bears the insignia of the warrior who served (Army Coat of Arms or Marine Seal). The light blue rattle is the woman's rattle, with her son and husband's military insignia to honor their service to the U.S. Her rattle also has a painting of her clan on it. The rattles are adorned with black bears, golden eagles, white sheep and hummingbirds in addition to the military insignia. These gourd rattles will be passed down for generations. I was proud to create this important family heirloom rattle set.
