New ATC's

I have been making ATC's for a musical instrument themed swap. I decided to do Aboriginal instruments to do something Aussie. They don't have many instruments....there is the didgeridoo that everyone knows, plus they use clapping sticks, some were solely instruments but as a nomadic tribe many things had to do double duty, so the women often would use digging sticks and the men boomerangs to get the dinstinctive clapping beat behind their music. Also I have included bullroarers, while really being a communications device, they can be heard in the background of some modern Aboriginal music. For those who don;t know what they areyou may recall having seen PAul Hogan swinging a device which hummed in a low growly sound, was a bullroarer.
Here are:
1) a bull roarer with kangaroo design
2) clapping sticks with an emu design
3) a didgeridoo with seed pod design
