Thunderdrum & Jesters Folly

The miniature thunderdrum/thunder drum is just under an inch high. Its real life counterpart is 14" in the photo where the two are pictured together. The little one is made with a bead, opaque plastic & jewellery wire all wrapped up to create a coil & not as simple as it sounds! I was inspired to make this after meeting Jesters Folly (ha! Link <-- ) two highly entertaining, utterly bonkers showmen at the Lightwater Valley Christmas Fayre 2013. They had unusual musical instruments & various bits & did juggling. They played the didgeridoo for me & other instruments. Mental guys in a truly brilliant way!
