A small drum with a gentle voice and a lot of heart.
A quarter moon cradles clusters of mushrooms within its lower curve, creating an image of something mysterious and alive emerging from the darkness.
The moon speaks to cycles, intuition, mystery, and the unseen. Even when only a portion is illuminated, the rest of the moon remains—reminding us that there is always more present than what we can see.
The mushrooms growing within the moon bring another layer of mystery. They emerge from darkness and transform what has been left behind into new life. Their hidden networks beneath the earth speak to connection, transformation, regeneration, and the unseen wisdom of the natural world.
Together, the moon and mushrooms create a beautiful image of wisdom growing within the darkness—of something quietly taking root in the unseen before it emerges into awareness.
Perhaps this drum is an invitation to trust the dark places, listen beneath the surface, and allow whatever is waiting within you to emerge in its own time.

There is a quiet magic in the meeting of earth and sky, light and darkness, above and below.
Hand-painted with sun, moon, branches, and roots, this 10" REMO vegan drum carries the imagery of an ancient conversation between the visible and unseen. The sun brings warmth, life, illumination, and the energy of becoming. The moon holds the mystery of cycles, intuition, dreams, and the wisdom found in darkness.
The branches reach toward the heavens while the roots disappear into the earth — a reminder that what is seen above is nourished by what lies beneath. Together, they speak to connection, balance, transformation, and the unseen roots of our own becoming.

This handcrafted rattle, approximately 8" long & 4" wide (at it's widest), is made from a naturally irregular-shaped gourd that has been carefully dried, filled with rice and seeds, and reassembled to create a soft, organic sound.
Its voice is gentle and grounding, offering a natural rhythm suitable for ceremony, meditation, mindfulness practices, energy work, or quiet personal reflection.
The exterior is painted a rich purple and wrapped with twine accented by satin leaves, adding texture, movement, and a layered, earthy aesthetic. At the top sits an ethically sourced amethyst, offering a deep violet focal point that complements the painted surface.
Amethyst is often associated with calm, clarity, intuition, and spiritual awareness, harmonizing with the grounding, natural sound of the rattle.
Each piece is completely one of a kind, shaped by the natural form of the gourd and the hand of the maker. No two will ever be the same.

A gentle voice shaped by earth, color, and stone.
Hand-painted with a bear, serpent, owl, woman, and full moon, this 12" REMO vegan drum was created in the spirit of the season ahead — entering the darkness, shedding what is no longer needed, learning to see differently, and emerging with deeper knowing.
The bear invites us inward. The serpent reminds us that transformation often asks us to shed an old skin. The owl sees what cannot always be seen in daylight. Beneath the full moon, the woman becomes a keeper of the threshold — listening, witnessing, and finding her way through the dark.
Perhaps this drum will become part of your own journey: a companion for drumming, meditation, ceremony, journeying, or simply creating a little more space to listen to what is quietly waiting to be known.

Inspired by Celtic and shamanic themes of transformation, intuition, mystery, and inner knowing
A meaningful companion for personal practice, ceremony, meditation, or display
There is something ancient in the meeting of serpent and moon—both carry the mystery of cycles, transformation, and returning again and again to what is essential.
The serpent is a powerful image of transformation. As it sheds its skin, it reminds us that we are not meant to remain who we once were. In shamanic traditions and contemporary shamanic practice, the serpent can be understood as a guide into the deep places where healing, renewal, and transformation begin.
Surrounding the serpent are the cycles of the moon—darkness, crescent, fullness, and return. The moon reminds us that nothing remains fixed. There are times to grow, times to shine, times to retreat into darkness, and times to begin again.
Together, serpent and moon create an invitation to shed what has been, move with the cycles of life, and trust what is transforming beneath the surface.
Perhaps this drum will accompany you through your own cycles of change—a companion for journeying, ceremony, meditation, ritual, or simply listening more deeply to the wisdom within.
