16 inch Elk Frame Drum - with Mallet Books which server as both reminders

which server as both reminders of the past (what we've lost) and proof of the future (prolific new growth)

The living is interacting with a long dead entity and some form of silent communication is taking place or information is being exchanged

Regardless

the wind tickling its branches and rustling its leaves in the breeze

16 inch Elk Frame Drum - with Mallet Books which server as both remindersThis beautiful handmade elk drum was built from scratch with materials locally sourced from a native drum supply shop in Washington State. It has a suede wrapped handle and 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.
