I remember making a rattle comment on Twitter. It said ("So... where is everyone?? It's oddly quiet this beautiful Sunday afternoon. Don't make me use my spirit rattle to make it rain again!") and I certainly remember that very quiet, too sunny pre-Christmas day. Everyone was at the beach instead of shopping!
It's fun to have something interactive for people to play with. At the gallery we have a sign that says "place rattle in palm and shake gently" and people will stand there and pick up each one and get totally absorbed in the rattle experience. Then there are those people who shake them vigorously and then stop and wait for something to happen. I'm not sure what they expect exactly - it's kind of interesting to watch. And funny.

Dear John: I have been trying to reach you some way as my cat has broken my very favorite piece that was made by you.
My husband purchased me one of you Floral vases-vessels in Sedona Arizona about 9 years ago. I was wondering if you still make this beautiful piece it is the most beautiful piece I have ever seen!! I still have most of it to show to you if you are interested in making another one?? Or if you have any similar to this one I would be elated!!
Please contact me to let me know where of how I can find one of your pieces like the one that is now
broken. Thank you... very upset and sad!!!

I was looking for something just truly unique on our trip and stopped in an art gallery in the Denver airport and found your artwork. I have my Raku rattle next to my workspace and when I need to slow down or count my blessings, I pick it up and it gives me a great deal of pleasure and brings calm to my day.

My partner and I bought 10 rattles to give as Christmas gifts to friends and clients - and they loved them. We then bought 10 more to keep as gifts for birthdays and other occasions - and we have already found reasons to give them all away within just 8 weeks! That’s because people are so moved by them and it feels great to give them as gifts and bring others joy. The rattles are very special. The dragonfly symbolizes transformation, the heart is love, raku is an ancient art, they are a perfect size, they can be used in spiritual ritual, or sit beautifully on a coffee table or desk - as a reminder of the person who gave it to you and the loved shared between you AND they are works of art by a wonderful, talented artist! We LOVE the rattles - thank you John, for creating them!!!

I got one of these heart dragonfly ones, and the other heart one with the swirls because I couldn't decide which I liked better. I just received them the other day. I am thrilled with these shakers. I love how they sound, and the beads against the colors of the pottery are so cool! I have a few different rattles around since I have always liked rattles - I think it helps me get in touch with my inner child. lol Anyway, what I like about these is that they're so different and very adult looking. It really does look like a piece of art. I also haven't seen anything like these before, and they just seem so happy to play with. I've never tried space clearing before, like it says in the description, but after getting these, I think I may try that out now.

Purchased this as a gift for a friend who is a "dragonfly goddess"; she loved it. This is a unique and beautiful piece of art for that dragonfly person in your life.

Since you can't shake this rattle yourself, you are just going to have to trust me-you want one! At first my assistant didn't quite "get" this rattle, now we can't get her to give it back! She loves it! Shaking brings about a sense of grounding and peace.
