Moose Drum, my first drum

This is the very first drum I made. It is made with Moose Rawhide and has the image of a tribe and circles of dancers around a fire. I have used this drum in many ceremonies and in many healing sessions.

It seems so simple now, but making a first drum is very challenging. I had a great coach, but I was very nervous. Would it turn out well? Would it work for shaman journeys? Could I paint what I saw and felt?
