Description My submission for the Witches of East End contest! I've always loved Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven." It's such a great depiction of grief and is certainly is a spooky take on our own mortality.

The original paper piece measures 6 inches by 14 inches.

Love the little feather falling down! It really adds a sense of movement to the piece.

Thanks! In the story, the man tells the raven not to leave even a feather behind, so he won't be reminded of this awful encounter, and I thought it'd be really fitting if the raven thought to challenge that.

Ahhh, nice! I've never actually read "The Raven", but I'm sure people who have will not miss that subtle reference.

Thank you! I'm not expecting anything--it was just a fun break from a much larger project I've been working on. It's great to see what everyone comes up with! I LOVE The Raven--great story!
