Alone,
Above frozen hills and icy forest,
Finding definition through separation,
A dark island in a white sky,
Coming closer.
- ‘Morning Raven’ by Alex Fontaine
An absolutely stunning soaring raven, handmade by another artist, copper electroformed with an equally stunning labradorite in rainbow colors. I had a hard time getting photographs of this stone inside at night, I will try to update the photos with better daylight ones. Labradorite matches the iridescence of this gorgeous hand-painted polymer clay raven. The copper grew a little crazily on this one, but I love the way it bubbled around the edges.
I have not yet created a chain to go with this piece, but this will ship with a chain. If you have a preference on chain length please let me know in the 'Notes' section at checkout.
Ravens are particularly well suited to the cold, and are often symbolisms of winter. The Scottish Goddess of winter, The Cailleach, sometimes appears as a raven, a touch from her brings death. No doubt, ravens have complex symbolism, but in many cultures ravens also represent deep magic, the mystery of the unknown, death and transformation, creation, healing, wisdom, protection, and prophecy. Raven is both the symbol of the sun, and the symbol of a moonless night.
**Note: Unfortunately, I knocked the beak off this raven and had to glue it back on, as such I have discounted the price.
