Bring the spirit of the desert to your next stitching project with this full coverage counted cross stitch pattern featuring a large, standing black raven photographed in Arizona. This solitary corvid is captured in exquisite detail—his iridescent feathers flash hints of blue and violet, and his proud stance evokes wisdom, mystery, and raw elegance.
Designed without a background, this pattern lets you choose your own fabric color to suit your style—whether that's dusk-toned linen, moonlit Aida, or a blood-red canvas for dramatic flair.
Ideal for stitchers who love wildlife art, high-impact blackwork, and customizable finishes
