The title of this post really is true. As I paint, stitch, dress, and photograph them…. these crows become my companions. They help me to pass the time. They make sheltering in place a little less lonely. I send each of them off to their new moms with a hug and sometimes, a tear. I think most artists probably are melancholy about parting with things they create. If you are putting love into them, it only makes sense that it feels a tiny bit of yourself leaves when they do.
What is so rewarding about this process is the customers that buy them and love them. I often receive pictures of herb crow dolls displayed in their new homes and it fills my heart back up again. That’s the main reason I keep doing what I do. ❤
