I make sacred frame drums and rattles with spirit and intention from animal hides, wood and natural materials. Each one is unique in its song and energy.

I'm pleased to offer shamanic, Native American style frame drums for sale or trade. I've found that I have a gift in birthing them, and I've been called to make these spiritual tools available to others. I use prayer, intention, and the power of various crystals to empower my drums to bring a needed voice to the world. By creating a sacred space in which to do this work, I find peace in the proces

s and great joy in the completion.I generally have a few drums on hand, or I can work with you to call in any specific energy you may desire in your own drum. If you're interested in more information, please send me a personal message on FB with questions. Thank you.

All set up and ready to rock the day. Vermont Holiday Market at the Gairgrounds in Essex Jct

Here's a pair of smudge fans I finished up last week. Grouse wings, one on a piece of root I've been dragging around for probably 20 years (I found it even before I was making this kind of stuff), and one on a bit of deer antler. The second one comes with a cedar stand. I'm keeping the one with the root, and the other I am giving someone right of first refusal on. So it may be for sale at the Vermont Holiday Market in Essex Jct Dec 7 and 8.

I’ve been prototyping and developing this systrum inspired project for quite a while. At this point its beer bottle caps on wire with walnut sticks and deer antlers for the handle. We’re not there yet, but they’re going to be good.

Down in Albany, NY for the weekend. Nine women made 10 rattles today, and they knocked it out of the park!! I showed up with rattle blanks along with an assortment of filling and trim material. This was a fun day for all!

Five Salty Souls got together this past Sunday to make their drums. We were at the Adirondack Salt Cave in Glens Falls, NY. It was a special day.

Seven Sometimes Silly Superlative Souls came together at a Magickal School in NH this past weekend. They made drums on Saturday, rattles on Sunday. This is what a hard day of work can look like at the end. We dove deep.

This little guy lives nearby and has been coming into my studio for a couple years now. I can't wait until he can see over the drum!

A podcast?! I sat down with Megan and Amy for a fun and informative interview. We talk drums (of course), stickery, stitchery, spirituality and more. You'll also get their take on the current waxing moon, with a little Mercury retrograde and more in the first half. Enjoy!

I flew a mini-drone over some of my latest batch of felted drum beaters!

Our Story

I have found that I have a gift in birthing drums, and I've been called to make these spiritual tools available to others. My drums have found their way around the world, including to four continents, Standing Rock, and to shamans in the Ecuadorian Highlands.

My call to drumming reaches back to my earliest childhood memories and continues to renew itself. My work with Vermont Druids, Ecuadorian Shamans, and lessons drawn from numerous workshops and readings over the years influence the ceremony that goes into the birthing of these drums.

I have studied clairvoyance, spirit communication, and the healing powers of crystals. I employ these skills to empower my drums to bring a needed voice to the world. Each one is unique in its song and energy. By creating a sacred space in which to do this work, I find peace in the process and great joy in the completion.

I generally have a few drums on hand, or I can work with you to call in any specific energy you’re looking for in your own custom drum. I have access to a wide range of frame type and size, as well as various skins for the head. In addition to making drums, I make rattles and run drum-making workshops, both individual and group, within a reasonable travel distance from Burlington, VT. If you're interested in more information, please send me a personal message on FB with questions.
