I’ve been doing my best to keep an updated Website complete with current pieces of art and prices, but I find it is hampering my style. If there is anything that appeals to you, please reach out and I will let you know the details of the piece and the price. The majority of rattles are in the $200-$325 range. A few are more, a few are less, depending on customization with crystal, stained glass, salmon leather and prime furs.
I really enjoy custom works, and I can tell you that no two rattles are the same, ever.
