New frame drum: The Sunshine Drum from the Journey Oracle


I  am calling this new frame drum from the Journey Oracle, the Sunshine Drum.
It is Cortes Island blacktail deer stretched on a 14" BC Spruce wood hoop. 




The 9 pointed interlacement pattern was finished last night in yet another coastal rain shower, and I did not imagine that the sun would come today to participate in the drum's birthday portrait.


Perhaps it was the 9 Muses singing in the smoke-tanned strands of hitching that wrap the star.


Perhaps it was the clear, thin hide of the young deer whose skin created this smooth drum face.


All I know is that I stepped outside with this drum and my camera and the sun appeared, bringing a warm glow to this new sunshine drum.
