I promised this for today, and now I'm delivering. You've watched it take shape; now here it is: Wings's newest masterwork. This is the cuff he's been working on, the new design for which he had to create his own stamps (to score the great curving bands and arcs that frame all the hundreds of detailed stamps). It is truly a phenomenal work of Indigenous art, full of power and animating spirit and an absolutely eye-dazzling beauty.
No, I will not restrain my description or minimize the power of this incredible piece in the slightest. And yes, I'm going to show you all five photos from varying angles, because this piece is that powerful.
It's called Cosmologies, and it contains whole worlds, galaxies, the universe itself. You can read its full description here.

The stampwork, all freehand, all done by wielding a hammer of solid iron and steel, impossibly heavy, is so deep, so precise, so flawless that it looks like diamond-cut metalwork finish.
It is, unquestionably, a masterwork. You can order it via the form here. Wings's main page is here. And we still need to make consistent sales to make it through the next two weeks with our second-highest rate of expenses of the year and new medical costs besides, plus the rest of this terrible second pandemic-ridden year (one that has already been bitter indeed for our communities), so shares of the site links are much appreciated.
