Small Bird Nicho with Arched Top
More Nichos
More Birds
Of course we love birds and this lovely protector is no exception. Flying beneath a sweet arched nicho that has been hand cut and accented with hammering and embossing, the bird seems to be carrying the soul of what is displayed inside.
In many cultures, the crow is a protector of souls and spirits, so we choose to believe that this, too, is a crow, doing just such wonders with the little nicho.
The nicho measures 5-5/8 inches from the top of the arch to the bottom of the flying bird and 3-1/4 inches wide a the bottom of the framed portion of the nicho. The glass door opens from the front and latches with the traditional rolled metal closure. The niche itself measures 1-1/2 inch wide by 2 inches high and just over 3/8 inch deep.
There is a self hook on the back for hanging. Or you might choose to use the arch to add this as an ornament on your holiday tree. It can also be used to hand from the hand of a larger Santo or statue.

More Charms
More Crows & Ravens
This special vial will make a perfect necklace adornment or charm. Made of glass with a snug fitting cork, it measures about 1-1/3 inch high and will hold 2 milliliters (about 1/4 ounce). There is a tiny eye hook on top of the cork so that you can use it as a charm or pendant.
Although the cork fits quite snuggly, you might want to seal the cork to the bottle with sealing wax, glue or in some other manner if you choose to wear the little bottle.
The image has been applied by high quality laser printed sticker and should last a long, long time. However, it is water-resistant, not water-proof.

Eat Crow Charm
More Ravens, Crows, & Blackbirds
Whenever I was upset with the way the world was running itself or with the administration of a large corporation or the government or even just my group of friends, my Dad used to say, "Well, Annie, sometimes you just have to eat crow."
That used to drive me crazy because I thought it was inappropriate. Now that he's not here, when I'm upset with the same things, I can hear him giving me the same advice that I don't want to hear. But, I surely wish I could hear it now!
But, you see, I was never wrong, so I just couldn't "eat crow." When we found this charm, I had no choice but to buy it and offer it to you.
I guess sometimes, I should "eat my words" which would be just as distasteful - supposedly - as "eating crow". But, we love crows so much, I'd never even dream of eating one - even figuratively.
It measures 1-1/4 inch from beak to tail and 3/4 inch from foot to head and just over 1/16 inch thick

Reversible Handmade Silver Steampunk Moving Pendant - Crow Watches His Time
An Oregon artist made these super pendants for SilverCrow several years ago and we finally re-found them! Alas, it was only a matter of time!
On one side, the image is a small print of her original artwork of a crow with his pocket watch (does he have a pocket of which we're unaware?) But, alas, the clock has no hands!
On the other side, here are tiny watch parts flowing freely in the pendant and you'll find that the crow's watch now has found the time to be noon - or is it midnight - or, some other time of 12.
You might interpret this differently and we'd love to hear how you do!
These are handmade from glass and are water resistant, but not waterproof. So, please keep your pendant from getting too wet.
Each pendant is slightly different as each is hand fashioned and the watch parts may vary slightly. So, please let us select one for you.
The pendant measures 1-1/2 inch square. The bail atop adds a bit more length and will accommodate a necklace, ribbon, leather or cord easily. It's profile is about 1/4 inch which allows the watch parts to flow freely.
We're showing 2 pendants so that you might see both sides!

On one side, the image is a small print of her original artwork of a crow flying with his watch, mounted on a natural green mat. But the other side is so much fun. There are tiny watch parts flowing freely in the pendant as though they just fell from our crow's watch!

Fashioned from reclaimed metal, mostly old oil drums, these magnificent milagro-style crows seemed to be made just for us. Whether it be a dove or a crow, it matters not much, so we choose always to believe that black birds are crows, to protect our souls. Because of that, we choose to believe that they are miracles of nature and, for that reason, to us it is a milagro.
Each one has been hand cut, cleaned and hammered, then coated with sealant for protection. The crow measures just over 3-1/4 inches from beak to tail and just under 3-1/4 inches from bottommost tail feathers to highest wingtip. There is a hole for hanging like a milagro. And, if you cinch the nail tightly, you can change the position of the crow easily as though s/he is flying
Please allow for some variation in size, decoration and the placement of the hole for hanging. Created from recycled metals, the artisans have worked around the metal they've found to create their final products, so much depends on their working resources.

Sterling Silver Flying Bird Necklace in An Anti-tarnish Pouch
At first we thought it this might be an eagle - and well it might be. But we weren't sure because of the beak. So, when we're not sure, we usually decide that such birds must be crows or ravens, or at least blackbirds.
In any case, this lovely avian creature is flying on a unique sterling silver chain that features a lobster claw clasp and connectors at three intervals. At its longest, the necklace will be 18 inches. The other two connecters create a 17-inch necklace or a 16-inch necklace.
The pendant itself is quite substantial and has been oxidized to resemble a crow or other black bird. The wingspan is just over 2 inches and the pendant hangs just under 1-1/2 inches from the base of the chain. What a stunning statement for a bird lover!
Each necklace arrives in an anti-tarnish pouch for safekeeping.

Reflections of Poe Bracelet
More Bracelets
More Ravens & Crows
The master of macabre, Edgar Allan Poe, and his greatest creation, etched into black glass. Featuring the classic black and white photographic portrait of the poet, his raven and verse, this stunning bracelet will charm any fan.
His life was littered with tragedy even from his earliest years. First, the death of his parents, then a downward spiral of debt, alcohol and excess. Then his inconsolable grief over the demise of Virginia Clemm – his wife and first cousin. And eventually and finally, he suffered a miserable end in the gutters of Baltimore.
Poe's legacy was destined to be one shrouded in horror and uncertainty. By capturing the dread of his own, personal demons of death, mourning, and even the afterlife in written word, he continues to effortlessly arrest the imaginations of readers over a hundred years after his most famous works first appeared in published form.
It is not for his madness and debauchery that the designer wishes to remember Poe, but rather to celebrate the man who not only helped to reshape literature, but through his iconic themes and imagery, allowed us to take a closer look at the most forbidden corners of our own psyches.

We're calling this a raven because we were told that it is one - however, to us, it seems to be an eagle. Either way, it is lovely, and well wrought in sterling silver. The detail is stunning - and, it is reversible, too!/p>
Including the hanging loop, the charm measures 1 inch high by almost 7/8 inch wide.

Small Nicho Frame - Love Crows
Sometimes the larger nichos are just too big - especially if you want to add to an assemblage or other mixed-media artwork.
The glass window is rectangular and holds a picture about 1 inch wide by about 1-5/8 inch high. But, with some patience, other mementos can be added. Each frame arrives with a holy card or vintage style picture. It is easily removed so that you can add your own picture or artwork from the back via slot at that top of the glass. There is a self-hanger as well.
You can paint, decorate or collage the frame/nicho, but it is quite elegant all on it's own. There is a antiqued copper patina that has been lightly lacquered for effect. There is a lot of detail in this little frame. The crows' wings are highly detailed and even the heart features an extra touch.
This hand-crafted work of art has been individually made by a Mexican artisan the tradition of years of tinwork. Please allow for the variation that handwork promises. Each piece measures about 4-1/2 inches high by 4-5/8 inches wide.

Old Ravens Meet Fine Art Print Artist Trading Cards - Signed by the Artist
More Wall Art
Frame this wonderful print and hang it on your wall. Or, collect it. Or, use it as a bookmark; give it as a gift. Whatever you choose to do with it, we're sure it will be treasured for years to come.
This is a fine art print of an original painting from our new friend, Alison Fennell. She is a truly gentle and talented soul who agreed to print these just for SilverCrow.
Alison's own description of this fine image of glorious blackbirds:
Plush in their iridescent blue and black finery these two old boys greet each other with a bow and a caw!
These are standard ATCs (2-1/2 by 3-5/8 inches), printed with archival ink on archival fine art paper. At first glance, the image appears to be an original watercolor!
The artist has signed each one of these individually and, of course, we must keep one for ourselves.

We, of course, like to think of the bird in this story as a crow, but, alas, it might just be almost any bird. But one thing we do know - it flies upward in exhilaration against a deep blue sky.

Our bird's story is encased in resin within the silvery box.
The pendant measures 3/4 inch by 1inch and hangs from a 16 inch rosary chain. It is designed to insure that your pendant lies flat, and is closed with a lobster claw clasp. Elegant, yet casual, this lovely necklace will work with gowns or jeans - and, we're sure this fantastic necklace will delight the wearer.

Sweet Bird Oval Nicho
How could we not fall in love with this beautiful nicho? Two crossed feathers at the bottom of the oval seem to protect the contents inside. Atop the oval is a flying bird, which is made of several pieces, giving it a unique sense of depth.
As with all of SilverCrow's nichos, our Sweet Bird Nicho is made in Mexico by traditional tin artisans. The detail is amazing and the workmanship is exceptional.
The entire piece measures 7-3/8 inches high by about 5-3/4 inches wide. The niche itself is really a rectangle with an oval glass front. The niche opens from the back with a spiral clasp - a bit different from some of our other clasps. The niche measures 3-1/4 inches high by 2-1/2 inches wide and not quite 7/8 inch deep. The oval is 2-7/8 inches high by almost 2 inches wide.
Because these are handmade, please allow for variation.

Reversible Hand-Made Crow & Jack-O'Lantern Ornament (Or, Pendant if You're Brave)
We expect that this ornery crow has settled himself upon another Jack-o'Lantern's handle. But we can't be sure, of course! This clever ornament was made by hand and features both a crow on one side and a happy jack on the the other!
The entire piece measures 2 inches square. The hanging loop adds another 1/8 inch on top. This makes a great ornament for your Hallowe'en feather tree, or a great door hanger on a doll house for the spooky holiday!
Those brave enough for such a large piece might also consider wearing it as a reversible pendant - so we're including an extra jump ring - just in case!
We're showing two ornaments so that you might see the front and back.
The ornament itself is made of glass and metal, so please be careful with it. Clean it with a soft cloth and please don't immerse it.

Double-Sided Golden Crow (or Swallow) Dresdens - Sheet of 15
More Dresdens (Including These in Silver & Black)
These highly embossed shiny gold metallic Dresden crows are sure to be a favorite of crow and corvid fans. Now, we think these might really be swallows, but we had these especially made for us because of the crow resemblance.
Long used for embellishing ornaments and glued to other paper scraps and decoupage projects, these wonderful motifs are even more special because they are golden - one of the original types of Dresdens from the early days.
The embossing on these reliefs is superb, as is the cutting. These are new but are made in the same fashion as they have been for many, many decades! Each bird measures about 3 by 2-1/8 inches.

Art Postcard - Fuchsjagd (Fox Hunting)
More Animals
So, now Aesop's fable of the Fox and the Crow has turned full circle. Who is complimenting whom? Why is the fox in the tree. We knew it would change somehow!
The original tale has the crow in the tree enjoying a nice chunk of cheese that he stole from a farmer's windowsill. The foxy fox flatters the crow into thinking she has a beautiful singing voice. The crow, enamoured with the idea, decides to sing and drops the cheese to the ground for the fox.
So, what must the crow have said to change the situation? We can hardly guess!?
Artist/Photographer Voller Ernst is responsible for this charming and funny image.

Audubon Bird Call
This original classic red finish Audubon Bird Call consists of a birchwood roller and a zinc plug. With reasonable care, and periodic re-application of rosin from the included capsule, the call will last a lifetime. By twisting this simple device, you can easily imitate the songs of many wild songbirds.
Roger Eddy and his family and friends assembled the Audubon Bird Call by hand in his living room. He created the call after seeing similar devices used in northern Italy. For over 50 years, the Audubon Bird Call has been crafted by hand in New England and is now considered the standard bird call throughout the world. Roger died in 2003, and his grandchildren proudly continue this family business.
Please consider the birds when using this call: don't use it excessively near nests and when birds are resting.

Smashed Penny - SilverCrow
More Smashed Pennies and other Pocket Tokens
Coins like these have many names, but our favorite is smashed pennies, aka elongated pennies and pressed pennies. The first elongated penny was created for the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Illinois to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus during 1892-1893. There are some who believe that there were such coins produced earlier, but the experts have singled this celebration as the beginning.
A smashed penny is is made by forcing a penny (or other coin) through two steel rollers. There is an engraving on one of the rollers (sometimes both sides). A crank (mechanical or electronic) forces the coin through the rollers and squeezes it with extreme pressure. This smashes the coin from round to ...you guessed it...elongated. The pressure pushes the engraving into the penny at the same time it is smashing it.
We've been collecting these since we were children, and now our grandchildren collect them, too. Made from shiny pre-1983 pennies, there is a higher copper content than if created with today's pennies.
This special little penny will hopefully bring you luck (of course, we cannot promise that it will, but we'll hope for you, too!) The penny features a dotted border, and a gorgeous landing crow. At the bottom in tiny letters, it reads SilverCrowCreations.com. We had this made just for us. The letters are large enough to read, but small enough to appear as decoration should you choose to create a charm or pendant from our penny.
Because they are smashed in the process of impressing the message, these souvenir pennies are super thin, yet sturdy. The new oval shape measures about 1-5/16 long and about 13/16 wide. This makes a wonderful keepsake for your wallet or pocket.

His name is mentioned amongst a group of 18th and 19th century martyrs, but there is no true evidence that he really walked this earth.

In the USA, we're taught as babies to never stick anything inside our ears. Elsewhere in this wide world, the advice is quite the opposite. Ear cleaners such as these cute little crow cleaners are sold worldwide for cleanliness - we've even seen them in a shop at Paris' Charles de Gaulle International Airport.
Mimikaki are the traditional ear cleaners of Japan, a personal healthcare tool with a scoop-like end used for getting the wax out of the ears. Some of these are quite elegant, some are very Bauhaus and others are cute - like ours - which features a yatagarasu - a lucky crow with three legs.
In Japanese mythology, the appearance of a raven or crow with three legs is evidence of divine intervention into human affairs. There is some controversy over the crow's gender, appearance and size. But there is very little dissention regarding the fact that s/he is lucky for the beholder.
The stick measures 4-3/4 inches long.

We were quite taken with the icon-style print of Saint Francis that was used for this very special holy card. Saint Francis lived from 1182 through 1226 and is the founder of the Franciscan Order. He is one of the most famous and beloved saints of the Catholic Church. He renounced worldly wealth, preaching the importance of simplicity and poverty based on the ideals of the Gospel. He was known for his love of nature and animals, especially birds.
These lovely holy cards are a bit lighter weight than some others we offer, but the printing is absolutely outstanding. They are a convenient size for use as gifts or bookmarks - measuring 3-1/8 by 4-5/8 inches on heavy cream-colored paper. The back is blank except for a faint colophon at the bottom, leaving plenty of room for custom imprinting with your own message, or a place to write a note to a friend.

Art Postcard - Elegy to the Spanish Republic # 34
More Spanish & Latin
Robert Motherwell was an American abstract expressionist painter and printmaker. Although his major works are paintings, he is also quite well known for his philosophical writings, having been a philosopher as well as an artist. Connecting the mind to the canvas was his passion.
The Elegy for the Spanish Republic # 34 is one of the many pieces in the series by the same name, considered to be his most significant work. The stark black against the washed colors creates visual impact.
These cards were sent to us in error, but we decided to keep them, as the black paint reminded us of the silhouettes of crows in flight. We have no way of knowing if this was his intention, but we decided to interpret his artwork in this manner as it was our first impression. As crows are known in many cultures to be protectors, we hope the Spanish Republic willing to accept our interpretation.

Stylistically, the 54 designs range from quite naturalistic to highly stylized, some with a distinct Asian flavor are also to be found here.
Printed on one side of a page on heavy manila paper, these stencils can be used again and again to decorate clothing, trays, walls, floors, furniture, leather, tin and almost any other surface. Complete instructions and a list of the necessary materials and tools are given in the introduction. The materials needed are inexpensive and easy to find in most well-stocked hardware, discount and art-supply stores, while the stenciling method is easily mastered and projects quickly completed.
There are 54 stencil designs printed on durable paper on one side of a page only, so they are easily cut out. This 64-page soft cover book is meant to be cut apart. It measures 8-1/4 by 11 inches.

Vintage Embossed Die Cut Chromolithograph Scraps - Animal Wannabes
More Scraps, Dresdens & Die Cuts
From the mid-20th century, super cute scraps feature animals in professions and activities normally reserved for their human friends. There are bears, birds, monkeys and more bowling, juggling, delivering the mail and playing the banjo. Artists, musicians and waiters and more, offer their more humorous side for inclusion in your artworks. We're not sure whether we wannabe the animals or if they wannabe human.
As with many of the scraps and die cuts made in the 20th century, these are children in adult situations. The advent of space exploration in the 1950s and 1960s, led to many products such as these. Rather than intricately die cut motifs, these are nicely expressed vignettes that are die cut into shapes - probably meant for découpage. We're particularly attracted to the colors in this production - there is a special tone that makes the scraps seem older than they even really are!
The scrap relief sheet is approximately 9 inches by 7 inches, ready for you to clip and use in your artwork. And each sheet is lightly embossed to accent. The shapes make these perfect for accenting boxes, pencil cups or other such items.

Poe Illustrated: Art by Doré, Dulac, Rackham and Others
In his brief and troubled life, Edgar Allan Poe (1809-49) was as haunted by tragedy and loss as he was plagued by poverty, illness and alcoholism. Poe's personal misfortunes doubtless influenced the dark romanticism of his work. Obsessed with death, decay and the madness, he created compelling narratives of characters trapped in perverse situations. The profound influence of his stories and poetry extends not only to world literature but also to the visual arts.
This outstanding collection, selected and edited by Jeff A Menges, features scores of memorable moments from Poe's writings recaptured in gripping images of eerie beauty by the author's most acclaimed interpreters.
More than 100 illustrations, reproduced in brilliant color and crisp black-and-white, include hard-to-find images from private collections as well as those from sought-after rare editions. Poe Illustrated features scenes from such popular tales as The Fall of the Hose of User, The Pit and the Pendulum, The Gold-Bug, The Black Cat and The Cask of Amontillado as well as The Bells and other poems. Spanning a fifty-year period, they range from Édouard Manet's 1875 lithographs for a French edition of The Raven to the 1935 illustrations of Arthur Rackham for The Tell-Tale Heart and other stories. Additional contributors include Arthur E Becher, W Heath Robinson, Byam Shaw and Harry Clarke, among others. The editor provides an informative overview, as well as brief introductions to each of the artists and captions for their images.
The authors start by stressing the balance of complementary opposites—left brain/right brain, challenge/comfort, practicality/the sacred—as crucial to beginning the journey. Then through guided imagery, they lead readers through subconscious realms to connect with archetypal sources of inner wisdom. This process frees the creative and healing spirit, connecting explorers with the body's instinctive intelligence, which expresses itself through the creation of art.
This wonderful softbound book measures 8-1/2 by 11 inches and has 81 pages, almost all with illustrations.

Saint Francis with Crow Bulto Nicho Retablo
More Shrines & Shrine Supplies
Animal and nature lovers have long had a sincere connection to Saint Francis of Assisi, and he has become one of the most popular saints of all time. Although his home was in Italy, the Franciscan Friars brought their love for him to the New World. Many missions in Mexico and the southwest United States were created by the Franciscans.
We commissioned this lovely nicho and Santo in much the same way that the original settlers did - unless they were talented enough to make retablos or Santos themselves. The original versions of such religious artwork were often made for small chapels and the settlers' homes and created by itinerant artists.
Each of these is handmade of recycled wood - Mexican rejas (fruit crates) and then hand painted. The entire piece measures just about 15 inches high. Each is handmade, so please allow for some variation.
