Rainsticks make a soothing sound when inverted -
they are filled with seeds (usually), and are popular tourist purchases
in the Carribean and Southwest. These were nicely decorated with

Postprocessing details-
not much - I set the background to black,
tweaked the levels slightly, darkened things a bit overall by adding a
duplicated layer set to "Soft Light", and added modest sharpening.
