This piece was inspired by a crow I lived with for many years, her name was Copper she was named after my studio. She talked and went for walks with me in the woods. She tolerated the dogs that lived with us and made friends with the family but her heart belonged to me and mine to her. The only time I was not chosen first was when there was a bright and beautiful object in sight such as my wedding ring or a new red bead.
When I made the leash for this piece I thought of Copper and how she might of grabbed it and made horrid noises to and frighten me away, she didn’t share well.
Waiting for dinner.
Body detail and assemblage necklace.
This has been nice thinking of my old friend Copper.

Walking Raven is captivating Tory...such a beautiful piece. I'm reminded of you and Copper together when I look at it. She was such a cool bird...her chicken imitation was very entertaining:)

Tory-- I am so sorry to hear Copper no longer lives with you. I did not know. You'll have to catch me up next time we see each other. I have really enjoyed all your Copper stories!
