Truly good medicine.

Now I can show you what he's been working on so hard for the last two weeks. I could show you the necklace last night, because it was entirely a surprise, but the other two pieces were already known, and that would've given the surprise away.

We had family here today: Wings's older daughter and her husband, who made a quick circuit of a trip to southern Colorado for a National Day of Mourning observance and then down here. They spent several hours with us here before needing to head home to Arizona. The necklace is for Chelsea, and it represents something deeply personal; the bolo and the hatband are for her husband. And it was a great gift to us to be able to spend some time with them, filled with laughter and truly good medicine. 

Now, Wings is back at work in the studio on inventory pieces. Those had to take a backseat to these, for obvious reasons, but at some point, I'll feature these in various #TBT posts so that folks can see all the extraordinary detail work he put into them. In the meantime, I'll be using this week to get the site back up to speed with the new work, because we're running out of time to get purchases shipped in time for Christmas (effectively, we have a couple of weeks yet, but no guarantees this year).

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);
• 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.
