,
Okay, this is a mindblower to say the least.
Most of you know I have an Etsy shop and that I love ravens.
I came across this artist last week and I fell in love with her whimsy and her wares. I asked if she ever did ravens and she said she was thinking about it because she loved them as well.
Long story short, this is the one I comissioned, but she apologized for it because there seemed to be a tear coming from one eye.
I told her it was perfect because I had just lost a friend who called herself my raven sister and I miss her dearly. This raven is going to sit next to her flowers in my studio.
I'm taking this as a visit from Renee telling me (all of us) not to be sad.
Blown away twice in one day. The Universe works in amazing ways ;)
Please visit Jill's Etsy shop. She does wonderful work!

I've had a couple of messages from people in the past few days that were just what I needed at the time. It restores my faith in things and reminds me that if I keep plodding on-I will get there. Wherever there is.
I still can't walk well enough to put in the hours I want to put in to organize my home-and sometimes I feel like I'm falling behind. Behind what? The only timekeeper is me and I need to get off my own bottom. (Easter needs to get here so I can cuss again).
Lo, this is so beautiful, so heart-warming.... how perfect life can sometimes be. I know you will treasure this Raven "with a tear" and will think of your Raven-Sister.
I just finished my entry for KJ's "Renee's Book of Love"....and was feeling so emotional, I happened to visit your blog and this entry, although it made me cry, did it in a good, warm, wonderful "Renee" sort of way. Thank you for sharing!

It is, indeed, a beautiful piece.
oh yes this is truly a little message from renne saying, 'it is okay to cry and to grieve, and although life goes on, we will never forget'. love ya lo, keep it up and remember -this is 'your 'time now.
Ah, this is so lovely, lolo! And what a perfect message from Renee. She sent Raven With A Tear to you in such a gentle, loving way. And as you know, those Ravens can be raucous and funny, too...again, just like Renee.
When she died, I knew she would send messages to her friends and was waiting for posts telling about her 'appearances'. This is one of the most impressive...
Wow Lolo, this gave me the chills!!
Yes it's beautiful. You are very lucky.
she's posting messages in her own way - isn't she (har har)
How beautiful. I never knew Renee, but heard about her there at the end. I am so sorry for your loss. This raven is awesome! I'm glad it will be special for you because of her. Take care...
Oh my. What a wonder. It is beautiful.
Wow, what an awesome find and poignant revelation...
Oh and her cats are lovely, too...bookmarked, wishlist...
My goodness... I have no words...just chill bumps! Perfect...Absolutely perfect!!!
I didn't know Renee either but am really blessed to see how much she meant to so many of you. She must have been a wonderful woman. The raven piece is unique! I would have never imagined a design like that but somehow it comes together. Very imaginative.
it is a very special tear.
i will never ever ever see another raven and not think of you and your raven sister. you meant so much to renee. she loved you dearly. no wonder.
love

Oh this is so lovely. How nice that she had a tear in her eye. to remind us/you of both the joy and sadness of life. Perfect for your wonderful Renee shrine.
I love the Raven pieces. The tributes to Renee were just so sweet and caring. I never knew of her until now,but reading about her she must have been wonderful. I too lost a friend last week to lung cancer at age 59. It is a hard pill to swallow. God in his wisdom will help us carry on.
Margaret, your work was beautiful as well.
Oooh Lolo this is Beautiful.......
