Tigers - Hand Painted Frame Drums
BLACK & WHITE TIGER ...&...GOLDEN TABBY TIGER
by vegan artist © Karrel Christopher
16'' Remo Buffalo Style Frame Drum - NON-leather
** completed ** ready to ship **
Your drumming meditations, prayers, chants and ceremonies can be played without the cruelty of dead animal skin. Embrace COMPASSIONATE DRUMMING ~ The marriage of art, sound, rhythm...a gentle soothing tone or bold voice - it is your choice. *NON*leather Frame Drums painted with professional artist oils by artist Karrel Christopher. Celebrating the elements of nature & honoring its special animal beings with spiritual joy.
For new commissions, I have two styles of quality REMO Frame Drums available for my custom designed and painted creations. The classic Buffalo Style Frame Drum 3 1/2'' deep...or... the newer Fiberskyn Frame Drum 2 1/2'' deep - in diameters of 14'', 16'' or 22''. Both are NON-leather.
The surface of these drums are a dream to paint on - allowing for beautiful detail and durability. You can drum to your hearts content knowing that no animal was butchered for these drum heads. And happily the synthetic drum head is more tone stable in various humidity and temperatures than animal skin drums. Every drummer I have spoken with compliments their quality and rich tones! There are so many ways to create pleasing sounds on these frame drums. They may be played for musical enjoyment, mediation and ceremony with a soft mallet provided. Play with your hands without jewelry and avoiding sharp nails. More bell like tones by striking the rim and bottom edge with your fingers and palm. Call to great spirit with love, beauty and compassion --and enjoy fine art in your sanctuary space and drumming circles.
Please feel welcome to contact me about commissioning your unique drum.

Young Nubian Goat Portrait
Paw Paula Nubian Goat ~ by © Karrel Christopher
original oil on board ~ 24 x 34 cm
~ paintings honoring Earth Family
In recent years I had the privilege of getting to know a family of Nubian goats - spanning several generations. They are extremely close and affectionate creatures and being accepted into their herd was a very heartwarming experience. "Paw Paula" was one of a set of triplets. All were beautiful and very endearing but Paw Paula seemed to connect with me very closely soon after her birth. She would gaze at me so warmly with her lovely golden eyes and follow me where ever I went. I learned the particular way she liked her face and back rubbed and caressed. The moment I stopped - she would gently paw at me until I resumed her grooming and love. I was rewarded with silly noises and kisses on my face. Those sweet reminders with her paw became her trademark right into her adulthood. She will always have a special place in my heart. Each and every goat I have met has a unique and fascinating personality. Each has taught me the special gift of connection. Please get to know our wondrous Earth Family and offer them the respect and consideration they all deserve. PEACE for ALL BEINGS

Northern Gannet Takes Flight
original oil on canvas painting 80 x 60 cm
Soaring into the unknown—fear not—go with confidence, faith and hope. Your strong wings have brought you this far, you have witnessed wondrous things and your heart will guide you forward. Your spirit continues without limits to connect with life. Fly...feel the wind...let the open sky exhilarate you...be cleansed by the ocean's mist and its healing waters.
Love your journey. Listen to the voice inside you – the rhythms of nature—that music that urges you to celebrate every moment with respect, kindness and compassion.
Trust your wings!! Rejoice in love and freedom.
All beings cherish safety, family, freedom and LIFE
