Rain stick / Bambú de Lluvia (Spanish) /
Click on each picture to see greater detail.
These rainsticks vary from 15 to 18 inches in length, depending upon the natural sections of the bamboo tree. Each stick made from a section of bamboo which has been left to dry for a minimum of thirty days. This drying process permits the seeds and pulp to loosen for easier removal. David punctures tiny holes throughout the length of the stick and inserts tiny twigs into the holes. The bottom of the stick is a natural formation of the bamboo plant that appears throughout the length of the tree. Into the cavity, tiny pebbles and hard platanilla (similar to Heliconia) seeds. A cap of bamboo is placed on the top end, and the sides of the stick are smoothed to an even surface. Then the acrylic painting begins. The details all focus on the flora and fauna of the forest as described on MORE DETAILS. Because every piece of art is made to order, we do not stock inventory. Please send an e-mail describing which pieces you would like, and they will be custom made and shipped directly to you.
