In process. It's the latest, likely done tomorrow: a heavy-gauge triangle-wire cuff with wraparound freehand filework, with an oblong focal of red tiger's eye. Yes, it occurs that way naturally. There's a blue variant, too, known as hawk's eye, although he doesn't have any of that in inventory. He has three other red tiger's eye cabs, I believe, each a different shape.

Some friends came by this morning, so they got to encounter Cricket, the feral guard dog. Wings is doing a special commission for them, which is why he's not taking on new ones right now; this one will keep him occupied for a while. But it was good to see them in person, and they were headed to the protest in town from here, doing what we could not.

No, this isn't a day we celebrate. Mostly it's just tiring, and I'll be glad to have it in the rear-view after this weekend. We've got enough to deal with right now, starting with the new well tank, which is on order allegedly supposed to be in this coming week.

And I hope it's in by mid-week, at least; the new assembly already began burning out after something like three days, so the old tank must be completely shot, and I would really, really like to get that taken care of before we lose water again. Of course, all that expense to come means that we still need shares, and we most definitely still need sales, several grand's worth of sales, until I can get everything covered that has to get covered. Which means I have to get caught up on the work somehow. Links are here:

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here (new priorities, needed for Miika, are 3-4 pairs of the fly traps [the second item on the list]); 
• Patreon here;
• Ko-fi here.

After such a grim year last year, and the first half of this one at least as bad, we urgently need to move 2025 onto a better footing, because taxes to this Nazi administration have already tapped us out and we still owe more anyway, so please share all of the links.
