18 inch Elk Frame Drum - with Mallet Store on the second day I

on the second day I was working on this painting at the festival

I started to pay attention to how focused I was while I was working

I chose a bear standing up because his big broad chest made a nice place to put the universe

It sat around for quite awhile after the event before I had the time to get back to it

18 inch Elk Frame Drum - with Mallet Store on the second day IThis beautiful handmade elk drum was built from scratch with materials locally sourced from a native drum supply shop in Washington State. The drum comes with a leather wrapped handle. A mallet is included but may not be the exact one in the photo. This is my favorite animal hide to work with. These frame drums are deceptively simple. Their versatility makes them great for shamanic journeys, ceremonies, sound healing and of course, just playing music.
