Raven Beads


Day 137: I don't often wear jewelry unless I am otherwise costumed, but on the rare social occasion that I do, it is invariably a unique piece and usually includes some representation of my iconic corvid cousins. When a friend gave me this assortment of hand-crafted clay Ravens, I decided that they needed to be displayed together. The beading separating them was worked around a core of satin cord using color-matched #11 seed beads and #6 crow beads. The pseudo-Native American styling of the Raven heads gives a very primitive look to the piece.
