Not just one new work by Wings, but two!

Well, I was wrong.  Today it's not just one new work by Wings, but two!

First up is the one I wasn't expecting to be ready yet, the cuff shown above. It's wrought of heavy-gauge sterling silver half-round wire with a slender, tapered overlay of pattern wire at the top, and incredibly deep freehand stampwork down both sides, along both filament-thin edges, and along the whole of the inner band. The symbolism evokes the gifts and the path of one of the powerful spirits of place, hence the name: The Water Serpent's Medicine. You can read the full description here, and believe me, you want to click through, scroll down, and see the photos of its stampwork from all angles.

The second work is the pair of earrings that I promised earlier today:

These are the second in his new informal series of big, bold geometric drops that pay tribute to the powers of the winds and the sacred directions. This pair is called The Moon Rests On a Blanket of Stars, and while only the right cab shows the full color refraction of the light, if I'd reversed it, you'd see incredible blues in the left one, too. You can read their full description here.

Wings's main page is here. Inquiries via the site's Contact form. We really need to make some sales this weekend, because we have two four-figure payments due to the tax one (one on this. plus next year's 2nd-quarter prepayment), and I have a hideously expensive medical treatment coming up on June 1, so shares of the site links are much appreciated.
