Copper Flute with Bag
Lined drawstring bag with embroidered handcut aluminum shisha mirrors, made with my Spoonflower "Blue Tigers" fabric and various indigo cotton scraps. The other side of the bag is identical.
"ShakCu" endblown flute that I made from 1/2-inch copper plumbing pipe, just under 11 inches long. The flute is styled like a Japanese shakuhachi (including the "root end" ornament at the bottom) but is half the length and half the diameter of a true shakuhachi and of course isn't made of bamboo. Tuned to the requisite pentatonic minor scale. Lowest note is middle C. Easier to play than a true shakuhachi, with a more whistle-like sound.
