More work in progress. Three pairs of very Deco earrings: Queen Conch shell on sterling silver; garnet on sterling silver; and sodalite on aged brass [when you see the design, you'll see why the brass was such an inspired choice for that pair]. I feel like I should emphasize that any time I post any of his work in progress? It's only one small aspect of everything he's got going at any given moment. It just takes a while to get through everything, and as soon as he finishes one, he's got three more launched with all the existing stuff.

Because that's the way it works.

If only everything else could be said to work now. ::Sigh:: I'm late with everything tonight because today entailed going to the pharmacy to shell out three figures for our latest scrip refills. At least his are useful; mine right now don't seem to be doing much of anything to help. but that's spring here, with these kinds of winds [and yes, I am profoundly grateful that we did not get the 70-mph winds that are driving the 3000+ acre wildfire current racing through part of Mora County, on the other side of the ridgeline from us, right this moment].

But we're out of time on a bunch of fronts. It's taking some doing to get someone out to look at the well pump [because there are like two people county-wide who do it, and of course, they're always booked into the next year, no matter when you call]. I still have to set aside this weekend and next week to take care of tax shit, and that's scaring the hell out of me, too. We have bailed folks out to the tune of an absolutely unholy amount of money already this year, and now I've got to find a way to cover both, virtually immediately, but I can't do that without sales. We also can't help anyone else if we can't keep our own heads above water, no matter what everyone seems to think.  Also, since we pay cash for everything, we have a lot less available to work with than folks who put everything on plastic. Anyone who thinks we're made of money is going to be sorely disappointed, because we're the furthest thing from it.

Still. Wings has been rocking in the studio for weeks. There's a ton of new work on the site, and I need to sell all of it. As you can see, there's a lot more coming, too; these three pairs should be done before the weekend's out. If you're in the market? Now would be a really, really good time to buy, because I really, really need to sell some of his work, and soon.

Links are here:

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here (those adjustable Black KN95 masks are badly needed, because I gave away all the rest of ours to relatives; it would good to have several boxes, so I can keep handing them out, too); 
• Patreon here;
• Ko-fi here.

After such a grim year last year, and this one beginning at least as badly, we urgently need to move 2025 onto a better footing before taxes take every last cent, so please share all of the links.
