I used a lovely black Italian wool (given to me by a lovely lady) for their bodies and some gray with a black lace overlay for their wings. I think they turned out great. As always, I used the Frowning Francis pattern as a template (a great resource that you can find on Dealmakers Journey site). I also added some embroidery on his body and tail using the feather stitch and the fly stitch in grass and dark blue.
The first crow, I named "A Balanced Life" after the song "Bird on a Wire" as sung by L. Cohen:
Like a bird on a wire,... I have tried, in my way, to be free"
The next crow I used the same fabric but I found a great old hole puncher that I used for his stand. The arms of the hole punch look like bird legs.
Here is "Luck be a Lady":
