A Day of New Work: Four New Masterworks By Wings

I've been promising these, and it's been a day of new work: four new masterworks by Wings, to be exact. As of today, we have four powerful new cuff bracelets in inventory, and you really need to go to the posts and scroll through all the photos, because each angle shows you a different aspect of each cuff's identity and spirit, and they're all phenomenal.

The first one, shown above, is actually the last one posted, only moments ago, and it is truly a masterpiece.  It's called Sagebrush Spirits, and yes, that is Dragonfly as you've never seen him before, overlaid atop a hand-milled and stamped band, articulated back wings fluttering high above the surface. You can read the full description here, and yes, you DO want to see all the photos (and there's a secret in the inner band!).

The second one appeared here this morning already, but it's also new, and deserves to be repeated here with the others:

This one is the second in Wings's new micro-stampwork series (after Cosmologies). This one is called The Waves and the Water Serpent, and believe me, you want to scroll through all these photos, too. Like the one above, this one also has a secret on the inner band, but of a very different sort. You can read the full description here.

The third new cuff is one wrought in very old traditional style, but with a forward-looking spirit in more ways than one:

This one is called The River Spirits, and it evokes the look and feel and medicine of our very own Great River, and the Gorge through which it wends. This one is heavy nine-gauge sterling silver, and the stampwork is all crests and currents and the textured cliffsides.  you can read the full description here.

Fourth and last, but not at all least, is another old-style cuff wrought in traditional fashion and imagery:

This one is called Fly True, a reference to the three stamped arrows that face (and match) the three linked Eyes of Spirit at the center. The stampwork is all freehand, all simple, spare, and classic, but what really makes this one if the cutwork: freehand saw-work limning the three center "eyes," cut out of heavy nine-gauge sterling silver. You can read its full description here.

You can find Wings's main page here. Inquiries via the site's Contact form. We badly need sales to cover the rest of this month's outsized expenses and new medical costs besides, plus the rest of this terrible second pandemic-ridden year (one that has already been bitter indeed for our communities), so shares of the site links are much appreciated.
