For today's theme of the Flickr group 'Smile on Saturday', Selfmade Smileys, I searched the attic for my (now adult) daughter's beads and I used my dog's toy for the hair.
Selfmade boxguitar inspired by shaman drum.
Shaman drum has been used for prophecing and achieving trance. So this CBG suites perfectly for that use. Shamans also ate fly agarics and sang at the same. I strongly prefer just singing. With entering a trance, the sage was believed the spirits of context, and be able to interpret the wills of the spirits.
This CBG's box is made of alder, neck is made of birch and fretboard of oak. Finished with black treeoil and beewax.
Bridge, saddle, head&tail pieces and knobs are made of raindeer horn. Shape of head piece reminds the drumstick, hammer used by shamans.
Sami people from Scandinavia used to paint symbols and also some Siberian tribes. Pattering is copied from original Scandinavian style shaman drum. Here you can see the world with 3 layers. The upper world - the realm of gods and light spirits. The middle world - spirit side of this mundane world. The lower world - realm of power animals, ancestral spirits, gods of the dead people. Pattern of the head piece is also copied from the original drumstick.
Would you dare to play this? Playing might show the future and the sound flyes you to the deepest trance without eating fly agarics ;)
Would you get in contact with spirit of Robert Johnson? Have to find out.
Ugh!
