#ThrowbackThursday: A Night Sky Beaded With Cold Fire

It's #TBT at The NDN Silver Blog, with throwback work that dates back just over a year ago, one of a series of seven bangles from a deeply personal collection of my own. This one was created with the simplest of bands and all the icy crystalline flash of aquamarine: a night sky beaded with cold fire; the ancient and minute magic of stardust, fallen to earth on the arc of its own light.

The post is here. Wings's main page is here. This work obviously will never be duplicated exactly, but if the style speaks to your spirit, simply inquire via the site's Contact form; Wings can create a version uniquely your own. We were able to cover December's monthly expenses and some additional costs, like the hay for the horses and one load of firewood for us (but no plumbing repairs until the pandemic recedes; it's too dangerous to bring people into close quarters like that here now). But there's more firewood to cover before winter gets really under way (and it's here today, with a wind chill of 2), and there's still the process of figuring out this water/well-drilling problem, and January always brings a flurry of large once-yearly expenses that need to be covered. Meanwhile, the pandemic rages unchecked and the economy is dead (a grand total of four holiday sales this year, which will not get us much past the opening days of the new year, never mind the first six months of it), and we have a long winter to come to get through, too. And since neither the drought nor the pandemic is going anywhere, we are still going to need consistent sales to make it through the whole winter (one that has already been bitter indeed for our communities), so shares of the site links are much appreciated.
