Teachers get lots of gifts at the holidays. Sometimes we get good gifts and sometimes not so good ones. I have been quite lucky in my gifts. But this year, I feel truly blessed. One of my students has parents and grandparents who are potters. I guess she shared with them my love of all things Raven because this was my gift from them.
An amazing Raven head. He will take a place of honor in my home. I can’t believe how fantastic he is. I suspect that she’s spent as much time admiring Ravens as I have. I literally gasped and clutched it tightly when I opened it. Right now it’s on the windowsill in my kitchen and I am admiring it several times a day.
I’d like to share the name of the artist and her contact information but I’m not going to in order to preserve her daughter’s privacy.
