 All five ravens are done! Here are four of them. The fifth raven was a custom order and had to be shipped out before I could photograph it along with the others, but you can see photos of all of them by clicking on "Continue Reading."  This is Cormac, whose name is the Irish word for Raven.  Here's Darth, short for Darth Vader of "Star Wars" fame.  Elvira, named for the Mistress of the Dark horror film hostess.  Rasputin, named for the mysterious "Mad Monk" of Imperial Russia.  And finally, this is Eddie, short for Edgar Allen Poe, who is missing from the group photo at the top of this blog because he needed to be shipped off to his new home before the others were finished. You'll find more photos of Eddie and all the other ravens in the gallery. How these ravens were made:Ravens, Part 1: Finding Inspiration
