Shula at Poppalina tagged me to explain the name.

When I was consulting, I called the company Corvus Consulting because I wanted the wisdom and the attitude of the ravens. When I stopped consulting, I still needed a name to stick on the sutff I make. I wanted to stay within the corvidae family, but crows were easier to see around me than ravens. I thought about all the different colored crows there might be, but only Blue Crow and Red Crow seemed reasonable. Then Aerin drew a picture of a bird to show Alice how to do it. It looked like it was dancing. When Al gave me a domain name for Mother’s Day that year, it had to be Dancing Crow Designs.

I still like crows and ravens.  I read a bunch of great books about them, plus an essay by David Quammen in Outside Magazine about 15 years ago, reprinted in his book Natural Acts. My favorite was Ravens in Winter and it looks like he has a new book due out soon.
