A Council of Crows
Crow Council 'officially' began in 2017 with the enamel pin kickstarter, Familiar Feelings. Corvids are an easy pick for the embodiment of our feelings and values, and the very first pin we had designed for the Familiar Feelings series was the crow.
There's so many sides to the birds that we appreciate-- they can be perceived as being dark, silly, mischievous, clever, silly, lively, deathly-- but above all, they form strong attachments and have long memories. We've always valued the sense of a 'flock'-- of uplifting other artists, sharing resources, and supporting our community. And a flock isn't necessarily composed of just crows, either-- after all, there are crows who sort of bring wolves and people into their lives.
So! We feel very much the same. We hope to communicate the breadth of our feelings to the people who may find such a relation a comfort in isolating times. We hope that our personal little bits of symbolism may resonate with others, and that we are all a sort of flock-- our Crow Council.
