Wings's four newest works.

Photo copyright Ai, 2025; all rights reserved.

Completed this afternoon, Wings's four newest works. There is another pair of earrings set with carnelian that I posted . . . somewhere, probably bsky . . .  last week, plus a cuff that also needs to get up on the site. Which means a total of six [well, seven if you include yesterday's pin, which is already sold].

And no, these are not on the site yet, although I'll be working on that tonight [and probably tomorrow, too], but you can still order them if you don't want to wait. Stones are, clockwise from top left, iolite, peach moonstone, hematite, and Ethiopian Welo opal that has green and orange flash.

Anyway, as I was saying, I've got work to do, and my task list grows exponentially by the day. I've got to get his new work posted, and he's turning  his attention to his current commissioned works, something like 8 or 10 different pieces already in process [possibly with more to follow from multiple orders], and get those done very soon. In theory, we'll have rain the next two days, which might help both of us on that front; we'll see whether it materializes, in either form.

Because I have got to get caught up. But now that we have this big thing no longer hanging over our heads, if we can just continue to make regular weekly sales, we'll be fine. But we need to make those sales now. And to that end, links are here:

And we do still need to make those regular weekly sales, so please share all of the links.

The Suns of Summer and Storm

Now posted at The NDN Silver Blog, it's a pair of works for the elemental gifts of this season, each held by a Warrior Woman bringing breath and life and light. It's the last two pins in current inventory from one of Wings's oldest and most closely-held signature series, manifest as the suns of summer and storm.

The post is here. Wings's main page is here. Inquiries via the site's Contact formAnd with our well tank replaced at long last, we'll be fine as long as we continue to bring in consistent sales each and every week.

The Full Bloom of the Night to Come

Photo copyright Aji, 2025; all rights reserved.

Now posted at The NDN Silver Blog, it's Wings's newest work, completed only today, The Spirit Horse  of twilight, ready to lead the world in an evening star dance. It's the latest entry in that decades-long signature series, the newest tribute to the being that visited him in a dream and asked to be given form and shape, this one bringing with it the full bloom of the night to come. 

The post is here. Wings's main page is here. Inquiries via the site's Contact formAnd our well tank is replaced! We have water [and water pressure]! And we'll be fine as long as we continue to bring in consistent sales each and every week.

Hot and hazy again.

Welp. As I predicted elsewhere this morning, out of order today. He's working on finishing up several pieces, and just got done with the one I'm planning to feature today, so it'll be a bit before I get that done and posted.

Hot and hazy again today. It's also windy, and I found out yesterday that there are not just two wildfires in this northern vicinity, but now six. The other four are still small, or rather, they were when finally made public yesterday, but after all the wind yesterday and today, I'm doubting they are now. The biggest of them all got reported two days ago as "getting contained." What the local rag didn't say is that it had more than doubled for the second time in just over a day, and was by then somewhere around 5K acres. that's not "contained."

All six of them are northwest, west, and south of us, and thus, we are certainly in line for all the smoke.  We can only hope and pray for containment so that we don't wind up in line for something much worse. And after Hermit's Peak/Calf Canyon? Why, no, nobody here trusts the forest service; why do you ask? [Forest service officials negligently started both fires, which merged in the largest and most destructive wildfire in recorded state history.]

Anyway, I've got work to do, and my task list grows exponentially by the day I've got to get his new work posted, and he's turning  his attention to his current commissioned works, something like 8 or 10 different pieces already in process [possibly with more to follow from multiple orders], and get those done very soon. In theory, we'll have rain Monday and Tuesday; we'll see whether it materializes, in either form.

I have got to get caught up, too. But now that we have this big thing no longer hanging over our heads, if we can just continue to make regular weekly sales, we'll be fine. But we need to make those sales now. And to that end, links are here:

At least 92 today.

A few new blooms in the planter today.

We need some rain, though, if they're going to survive. At least 92 today, despite the "official" report insisting the high was only 87.  Yesterday, though, it was 94.25, so today was a little cooler, if not by much. [They also insisted it was 87 yesterday, too.]

The weekend's supposed to bring more of the same. I just hope we can get his new work posted, and he can make some real progress on the commissioned works, something like 8 or 10 different pieces already in process, and get those done very soon. In theory, we'll ahve rain Monday and Tuesday; we'll see whether it materializes, in either form.

Friday Feature: A Flowering Night

Photo copyright Aji, 2025; all rights reserved.

It's our Friday Feature at The NDN Silver Blog, with an Indigenous Art Deco masterwork whose design sits at angles to the night. It's a work perfect for this stage of summer, still its heart, but already on the downward slope of its journey toward fall — a time of skies both dark and bright, an earth in bloom beneath a flowering night.

The post is here. Wings's main page is here. Inquiries via the site's Contact formAnd our well tank is replaced! We have water [and water pressure]! And we'll be fine as long as we continue to bring in consistent sales each and every week.

Another hot one.

Photo copyright Aji, 2025; all rights reserved.

That was this morning. It's been another hot one, and although the officially reported current temp is 87, it's actually just a fraction above 94 here right now now. We have multiple old-school thermometers, and they're a lot more accurate than the computer models that always try to make it less extreme than it actually is. I am just so relieved that we don't have to worry about the water anymore.

Just everything else.

I have got to get caught up. But now that we have this big thing no longer hanging over our heads, if we can just continue to make regular weekly sales, we'll be fine. And to that end, links are here:
