A Murder of Crows - Sculpture corbeaux



Clay sculpture, approx 60cm high. Sculpture en argile.

A "murder of crows" is the proper English collective noun. Sometimes English is a very very cool language.

J'appelais cette piece mentalement "l'envol", mais parfois le francais manque vraiment l'expressivite de la langue de Shakespeare, puisqu'en anglais, le nom collectif pour designer un groupe de corbeaux, c'est un "meurtre"--un meurtre de corbeaux.

..."Now, how to get this blog thing working...?"


(image (c) Yukito Kishiro)

Hello and bienvenue!

Welcome to Rebecca's quasi-bilingual blog. This is where you'll find my serious, please-notice-me artworks (if I can figure out how to work this account, that is) so, pretty much, my online portfolio.

Bienvenue sur mon petit espace 'net. C'est ici que je vais [tenter de] mettre en ligne mon semblant de book artistique.


The fun, silly and the fanart stuff you can find here ---> www.pika-la-cynique.deviantart.com
