Birch Rattle with inlay

This Birch Rattle measures 12 inches and has a solid, grounded feel to it. I have adorned the handle with stone inlay of dark blue Lapis Lazuli and blue-green Peruvian Chrysocolla. The 3 inch diameter gourd is filled with popcorn and topped with a tiny Cedar dowel. The sound is bright, crisp and outgoing.
