The latest.

The latest. Sterling silver, chalcedony, and Shattuckite pendant.  Beads are [all ultra-high-grade] kyanite, moonstone; aquamarine; rainbow moonstone; apatite; and diamond-cut sterling silver. Finished off today with two other pieces.

We're both absolutely beat. That's why all of this is so late tonight. Tomorrow, I think we take it easy; Monday, back to it. He's got a bunch in the pipeline. And among other things, I have to help him sort out the next bead jewelry collection.

For those wondering, still no phone. Yes, they are indeed closed for the euphemistic "COVID cleaning" [and have been all week]. The earliest he can replace his phone is Monday, always assuming they're even open then. Meanwhile, I say we'll take it easy but the fact of the matter is that we won't and we can't and it'll just be more of the same between now and Christmas.

Because, yeah, it always comes back to needing to make more sales. A lot more, because we have two years' worth of a shattered pandemic economy to make up for, by which I mean we need to gain more ground ourselves financially to be able to be sure of making it through the winter. And again, if you're planning on commissioning gifts for the holidays, DO IT NOW. [And that includes just ordinary orders for the holidays, too.] Yes, I mean NOW. We're dealing with the same supply-chain issues as everyone else, and at some point soon, Wings is going to have to get silver and stones to produce holiday inventory, and I'm hearing that the price is already spiking on the metals. More to the point of what customers care about, we also can't guarantee shipping times this year, because see above. But I've posted a ton of Wings's new work lately, and there will be more in the days and weeks to come. If I could sell one of the big works, like one of the belts, maybe I could get us on the drill list for the well that is the only thing that's going to keep this land alive. But I've got way too much to do and too few hours and other resources to do it. 

Anyway, I have GOT to continue to make sales, so links are here:

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here (priorities are first and foremost, the ladders, because see above, and coffee coffee coffee, which we're finding it harder and harder to get locally);
• Patreon here;
• Ko-fi here.

And if you've been contemplating a purchase? This would be a very, very good time to do it; I've got to cover all this staggering outlay somehow and get us through what's left of the year. And right now? I have no way to do it.  But there's lots of fabulous new work, so please share all of the links.
