A Trio Of Ravens

As a subject for my paper works, Ravens translate well into a flurry of lines, deep textures and royal metallics; the technique and mediums alluding to their diverse, complicated natures and multifaceted representations in world wide raven folk lore and mythology.

I prefer using black coloured papers when shaping ravens, as used in these three characters: The Diviner, The Enchanter and The Charmer.

The Diviner is a Featured work on my Contemporary Paper Artist website this month.

I'm always interested in stories on ravens in mythology and would appreciate any links or book titles in response.
