@ Crystal... I love your wishes, may they all come true!
As far as a workshop, great idea, but there isn't like that around here. I suppose I could check out an online one. Or just order the affordable one I found online, haha.
There is one stored here at my place, but the bottom has a slash in it. I suppose it will do for Wednesday, and maybe Santa will bring me a new one for Christmas :-)
You can indeed get one online if you can find one that appeals.
I did find a making your own drum in Kissimmee, also in Sarasota, Miami... And that was briefly using Google... in case you would like to make one yourself.
It is really special to birth one yourself, if you want to and have the option of course.
Just look at my eyes here, hihi. Taken while I was threading the cord through the skin before it was attached to its frame, just beaming with magick!
I can also recommend an ocean drum if you have affinity with water/Water which is the case for me.
Personally I'm more drawn to an ocean drum than a shaman drum, but not sure if and how you can fit that one in during a drum circle. I got both, and a number of other things as I've given sound healing.
An ocean drum tends to be much cheaper too.
You're awesome Crystal, I really appreciate all your suggestions and trying to help.
But to be honest, I'm really not that motived, haha. Maybe sometime in the future I might want to personalize it or connect with it by creating my own. Right now, I'm just not feeling it.
I did go as far as checking out ocean and shaman drums, found some very cool ones. So perhaps, after the holidays, I will invest more time into finding or making the right one for me. :)
For now, something quick, convenient, and already made, will suffice.
