I usually use a clear glaze spray that you buy in the Spray Paint section, but I would think any clear fixative or polyurethane would work. <br /> With other rattles that I've made, like Gourd and turtle shell rattles, I've used small shells, and vertabrae for the voicing. And yes, I always check the voice before I actually attach the handle. <br /> You can actually find many different shapes for the rattle head, I am planning on creating a few different types like rectangular, arrowhead, and the heartline bear. But I would think that any shape you can draw out would work.Wiciteglegahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04089510877273814421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-433608917704693799.post-6369735235342796722012-10-19T05:11:38.894-07:002012-10-19T05:11:38.894-07:00That is so very cool....it looks awesome!
Did you...That is so very cool....it looks awesome!<br /><br />Did you have to do lots of coats of paint (does the rawhide suck up the color as you paint)? What do you use to clear coat?<br /><br />It would be neat to fill a rattle with found items. Do you test the voice before you seal the rattle?<br /><br />I wonder if it's possible to do other shapes of rattle heads...Kylarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18385049563102853759noreply@blogger.com
