The vision for this drum came a few months ago, but the original vision was of a black drum with a stark enchanted tree and the moon.
However as the spirits of dye would have it, black is made of many colours, purple, brown, yellow and red..and so when they dye was finally scattered down on my meticulisly cut out tree, this is what resulted! The tree was outlined with acrylic paint as was the gold moon. Both are drawn with loose strokes and made delibratly imperfect for a more organic look, in keeping with the batik feeling of the drum itself.
On the back is a deer antler handle with an inlaid piece of black jasper.
The frame has been painted a deep eggplant purple to match and I used natural waxed sinew to lace the drum.
