Done, but not done.

Okay, so I was wrong. The new ones are done, but not done. Today wound up being constant derailments and chaos for multiple reasons, and he was lucky to get them this close to finished. 

One pair of earrings is not in the shot; it's on his anvil, in the same phase of completion [meaning stones set, but wires not attached]. That pair, and those in the upper right, both have different stones from what I said they would be, too . . . because apparently vendors do not know what the word "calibrated" means, and the size they insist a stone is is not the actual size at all, and I had to scramble to find him stones that would fit the bezels already made for them. Upper left is citrine now instead of Labradorite; on the anvil are malachite instead of turquoise.

They'll be done tomorrow, and hopefully I'll get them all posted then, too.

Meanwhile, yesterday I posted four new works in addition to Wednesday's extraordinary solstice pendant: two small barrette pairs, one set with malachite, the other with snowflake obsidian; and two gemstone-bead necklaces, one in fiery, smoky reds, the other in stormy, shadowy blues. All are available immediately, and we have a little over a week in which we can ship and still likely get it there in time for Christmas.

We were blessed with a really good sale a few nights ago, so the pressure to cover immediate things will be off in a few days when the payment clears. But there's still all the rest, all the stuff we couldn't cover all year because of one catastrophe after another, the taxes that still need to be prepaid, al the January bills that will be here before we know it. So we still need to make the equivalent of a sale a day now, on average. And he has so much new work!  I'm hoping to pull another late night to get five of them up yet. yeah, I know, I shouldn't, but it has to be done, because the last two years have all but killed us financially, and we're almost out of year. To that end, links are here:

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here [priority is the vacuum! mine died two days ago, and we're being suffocated by dog hair];
• Patreon here;
• Ko-fi here.

And we do still need to make those regular weekly [daily now, really] 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.
