Bone dry.

No filters, no edits. Those are the actual colors here today: the only red, white, and blue we recognize.

Not a cloud in the sky all day. Of course, that means no rain, either, never mind snow. Late October, and there should be snow on the peaks, but they're bone dry. Kind of like those branches. I'm afraid it's going to be a terrible winter again.

It's also been a monster of a week, and it's only Tuesday. I can't believe it's not the weekend; we've both put in enough work for us to be into next week already.

And whatever else, I have got to bring in more sales.

The last two years have all but killed us financially, and I need to get us caught up to make it through the next several months. There's a lot of gorgeous new work up [and there will be a new silverwork necklace and two new pairs of earrings this week], but I've got to sell it for it to make any difference. I posted four new ones the other night, around midnight: those two pairs of earrings, both Goth-y and perfect for Spooky Season, here [this pair now sold!] and here; and two new necklaces, very different but also seasonally apt, here and here. And there's a lot more to come, once these two sets of commissions are done and with their people. But in the meantime, we [which means I] have got to change this trajectory, and fast. To that end, links are here:

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here;
• Patreon here;
• Ko-fi here.

And we do still need to make those regular weekly sales, so please share all of the links. We really do need this to be a better month than what we've had so far this year.
