I love working with my hands and natural elements. Plus, I feel that my energy becomes part of the instruments – they are a part of me. I love decorating them with symbols and images that tell stories. When someone asks about a specific instrument, the decoration allows me to share cultural insight pertaining to that particular instrument. One other aspect that I enjoy while making an instrument is the focus and attention it requires – it becomes almost a meditative experience, it calms me and relaxes me and slows me down to a comfortable rhythm. And, I get to make them outside in my backyard which reconnects me to nature – the wind, sun, birds singing, hawks flying high above me, I get to see my dogs running around exploring their world – it puts me in the moment, the here and now, and that’s something we all need to do.
