Prize pack includes:
2 fat quarters of raven batik fabric
I bought this fabric in Haines, Alaska on our recent trip there, originally planning to sew something up for this giveaway. But when I was planning out my prizes, I thought that someone might appreciate making something themselves.
I liked the ravens on them too. They're wonderful birds, and they stick around the territory all winter long. They handle -40C weather like champs. Those buggers are smart, too! I've seen them hanging out at the grocery store parking lot watching shoppers, just waiting the tourist to load bags into an open truck bed, or for Mom to turn to a fussing child long enough that they can hop right into the trunk and steal groceries.
I saw one raven sitting on one of those shopping cart huts. I looked up at it and said hello, and he said hello right back! Apparently they're good mimics. And did you know they can recognize faces? Mess with one of their buddies, and they'll keep an eye out for you. Don't mess with ravens!

Oh also, have you ever had a bird say hello to you?
I love ravens as well, and these fabrics are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteWe have a lot of crows in Oregon and they also remember faces. Now I've never done anything to a crow in my life, but one time when I was out for a jog, a crow kept dive-bombing me and dropping things on my head. It was insane! I kept trying to hide from it, but it wouldn't leave me alone. I must have looked like someone else to them. Such smart birds!
ReplyDeleteRavens are really wonderful creatures, their intelligence is mind-blowing!
