As an artist, to relax I like to do small projects.

Illustrate my frame drum.

Make a drum beater out of found objects.

Design boutonnières from local flora for a church celebration.

Paint a clock for a coffee shop.

Add a flower to my old banjo.

Knit warmth for a friend.

Decorate the top of a djembe drum.

…and anything else my imagination dreams up:-)
