And speaking of time . . . .

More work in progress. This one looks remarkably delicate for its size. It's going to have a blue spiderweb turquoise heart cab in it. It's also one that is not for sale; it's for a friend of ours.

There are about six other items currently in various stages of progress, too, plus another half-dozen [at least] in the "percolating in his brain" stage. He's not remotely lacking for ideas, only studio time.

And speaking of time . . . it's been a day. I'm still not caught up from everything going on last week, never mind DST and all the rest. Unfortunately, we've got lots of wind here, which means lots of pain, and absolutely nothing touches it. Just standing and walking are hard right now. And, of course, I've still got tax shit to deal with. And all of it puts me further behind than I already am, which is making me grumpy as hell.

But the five new pairs of earrings are all up, as of a few nights ago; you can see them on the site at the head of the appropriate gallery now. The new necklace is also up now, here. I've begun reorganizing the site galleries so that the newer work appears first, but it's slow going, mostly because I can't get any uninterrupted time to concentrate on it The last five months have been this way, nonstop, and I'm still not caught up on housework, taxes, OR sales. Which is not good, because we still have to bring in sales weekly to break even. To that end, links are here:

  • Sales here
  • Testimonials here
  • Amazon wishlist here [priorities are the LaminaSaver, because apparently Miika's out of it again; and the rugs, to replace those destroyed 2 years ago by the leachfield collapse and ensuing septic disaster];
  • 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 to get this year onto a better footing than the last two, and so far, it's been pretty grim.

The Strong Soft Blue of the Dawn

Photo copyright Aji, 2026; all rights reserved.

Now posted at The NDN Silver Blog, it's a masterwork for all seasons, but one perfect for each new day as it emerges from the web of night. It's a necklace wrought in an old traditional style, one set with an extraordinary Skystone and strung with beads and-selected to match, the turquoise the exact shade of the strong soft blue of the dawn.

New meaning.

Photo copyright Aji, 2026; all rights reserved.

Stormy, giving new meaning to the phrase "high on grass." She rolls in it every single evening, and then tries to come in without shaking off. Of course, once in, that's when she shake . . . all over the house. So she has to get brushed down first before she's allowed inside.

Of course, with a little snow, it would tamp that down and she'd feel better, and it wouldn't be so dry. We got a few sprinkles a half-hour ago, not even enough to settle the dust. Supposed to hit eighty here next week, so forget snow; we won't even get rain.

I'm sure we'll have plenty of wind, though. My joints are screaming at me. I'm tired anyway from last week, from the heavy labor over the weekend, from yesterday's chemo dose, even if it is lower now, and from haling a bunch of heavy stuff yesterday [bird seed, mineral salt, bags of Quik-Rete]. And still so much to do.

I did get the five new pairs of earrings all posted a couple of nights ago, at least, so you can see them on the site at the head of the appropriate gallery now. The necklace is also up now, here. And, of course, I've still got tax shit to deal with.

Red Willow Spirit: A Precipitant Blue

Now posted at The NDN Silver Blog, it's an edition of Red Willow Spirit for a land unable to recognize its seasons or decide on what its weather should be. It's two images from recent years at this time, linked by a single new work of wearable art, all of them illustrating a precipitant blue worthy of the Skystone, and of he sky itself.

The hard season.

Photo copyright Aji, 2026; all rights reserved.

That cloud bank above the horizon? That doesn't actually look like a cloud; it looks like a smoke plume. There's a definite origin point behind the peaks just out of the shot tot he right, and it extends leftward all the way across. It's way too far north to be any of the prescribed burns currently announced [and we've got way too much wind for that to be happening anyway, not that that makes a damn bit of difference, as we all know all too well here].

Which is worrying.

Absent an official announcement or news reporting on it, though, there's nothing we can do except be vigilant.

This is the hard season, in every sense of that phrase.

I woke up this morning feeling like my entire body had been run over by a semi. That's partly last week's trip; partly the physical labor I've had to do lately; partly the allergy flare because of this weather and wind; and a big part of it is caused by the winds themselves. Absolutely nothing I can do about it, except grit my teeth and keep going as much as possible. Today was also chemo day, albeit at the lower dose, thankfully, so I'm hoping not to be completely miserable tomorrow. Then again, we're supposed to have gale-force winds again, so if they're right, that's an entirely vain hope.

I did get the five new pairs of earrings all posted a couple of nights ago, at least, so you can see them on the site at the head of the appropriate gallery now. The necklace will be up later tonight; I just have to finish the description. And, of course, I've still got tax shit to deal with.

Monday Photo Meditation: The Alpine Blue of an Eternal Sky

Photo copyright Wings, 2026;
all rights reserved.

Now posted at The NDN Silver Blog, it's a Monday Photo Meditation for spring conditions arrived far too early, and for what increasingly seems the death of winter here. It's a contemplation of how fast conditions here have changed, even as we remind ourselves that we are blessed to have, still, the alpine blue of an eternal sky.

The same thing over and over.

Photo copyright Aji, 2026; all rights reserved.

DST. I hate this abomination. It destroys my circadian rhythms all year long. It's bad for people, for animals, for plants, for the earth, and these stupid feckless politicians keep extending it. We've both lost a lot more than an hour, whether for sleep, work, whatever, because it destroys everything. 

Then again, the politicians like destruction. Look at that shot. No snow. It's March 8th; that entire mountain range should be covered in white, and it should be many feet deep. Instead, we've got bare tundra, and temps dozens of degrees too warm. And those jackasses will keep doing the same damn thing. 

The old adage about doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result? That's wrong. It's not insanity. And they don't actually expect a different result. It's venality, and they like it this way.

And I'm behind again, as always, and apparently there's no changing that, either, because there's always something more important than my work. 

I did get the five new pairs of earrings all posted a couple of nights ago, at least, so you can see them on the site at the head of the appropriate gallery now. The necklace is still not up yet, but maybe later tonight if I have time after dinner. Maybe not. I've still got tax shit to deal with.

The Cool Clear Blue of a Hovering Sky

Now posted at The NDN Silver Blog, it's one of Wings's all-new works, one for today's turquoise skies and for the spring spirits that will soon be arriving daily now. It's a pair of earrings in the form and shape of Hummingbird, here bringing with it the cool clear blue of a hovering sky.

Piñon jay water cooler.

Photo copyright Aji, 2026; all rights reserved.

It's the piñon jay water cooler, where everybody hangs out. We have the whole clan here, a hundred or more, and when they descend, everything gets vacuumed up in a matter of minutes. The starlings, pigeons, and house sparrows do the same. None of those are native, though; at least the jays belong to this place.

The red-tail pair also came to visit today, by which I mean they showed up and began circling overhead repeatedly, not looking for anything, just saying hello, because they know us, now our voices, know they're welcome here. Several generations in residence now, and every single one has signed onto their unspoken agreement that our chickens are to be left alone. One of them was on the hunt this evening, though, for wilder fare. Might have another baby red-tail here in a couple of months.

We both spent the day trying to get caught up on everything — a doomed effort, to be sure, when the to-do list is this long, but we both managed to cross off a couple of things.  After Thursday's trip, and compounded by the winds, I felt like absolute hell all day yesterday; I finally started to feel human again about midnight. You know, just in time for bed. I stayed up another hour or two and got the five new pairs of earrings all posted, at least, so you can see them on the site at the head of the appropriate gallery now. The necklace is not up yet, but maybe later tonight if I have time after dinner.

And of course, tomorrow we lose an hour, so there's that.

We Bask In the Fire of a Dancing Sun

Photo copyright Aji, 2026; all rights reserved.

Now posted at The NDN Silver Blog, it's a work for all seasons, but especially when it's cold and windy and we need a little sundancing to warm our world. It's a name meant literally, not a reference to ceremony, manifest here in an extraordinary mix of earth and fire and silvery light to remind us that we bask in the fire of a dancing sun, a daily gift of medicine for the body, and for the spirit.

Squalls.

Photo copyright Aji, 2026; all rights reserved.

Good lord, I'm beat. It's been literal squalls all day, with gale-force winds [and only a little graupel for us this morning, but all the violent air and all the bitter cold], and metaphorical squalls all week.

For weeks now, actually. Months, even.

Yesterday's events wiped me out completely, which is always the case anymore when we have to travel; all the worse if I have to do a lot of walking on hard surfaces, as was the case yesterday. I woke up this morning feeling like death, forget anything about warmed over, only to find that it was already doomed by dawn to be a high-pain day thanks to the winds. I can cope with the cold. Humidity? Sure. Heat? Even that. Wind? NOPE. My joints have been screaming at me all day.

Still no earrings up, although I've at least got them shot and the photos edited and uploaded and the dimensions inserted. Still no necklace, but those photos are at least shot now. Maybe late tonight.  Maybe not until tomorrow.

Because this week's been like every other for the last five months, and I'm still not caught up on housework, taxes, OR sales. Which is not good, because we still have to bring in sales weekly to break even. To that end, links are here:

Friday Feature: A More Atmospheric Fire

Photo copyright Aji, 2026; all rights reserved.

It's our Friday Feature at The NDN Silver Blog, with a trio of related works, a necklace and two pairs of earrings that embody the power and medicine of the flames. It's a trio formed of a matched set of extraordinary spiny oyster cabochons and perfect for bitterly cold days such as this, each of the three works reminding us that we also benefit from a more atmospheric fire, in the form of Father Sun's daily gift to our world.

#ThrowbackThursday: Hope's Flame Burns Bright

Photo copyright Wings, 2026;
all rights reserved.

It's #TBT at The NDN Silver Blog, with a #ThrowbackThursday featured work from one of Wings's longest-running signature series, an entry that dates back some fifteen years almost exactly. It's the Warrior Woman, wrought in his classic design but with utterly unique detailing and a fiery amber jewel to contrast with the imagery of rain, a reminder that hope's flame burns bright, as do those of medicine and breath and life and love.

The post is here. Wings's main page is hereThis work will never be duplicated exactly, but if the general style speaks to your spirit, simply inquire via the site's Contact form; Wings can create a version uniquely your own. It's March, taxes around the corner, and we need to get caught up.

It has been *a day*.

Photo copyright Aji, 2026; all rights reserved.

Some pretty cloud formations today. The wind, not so much. 

Out of order tonight because it has been a day, We're back, I've got dinner in the oven, and I want to get the quicker items out of the way while we're waiting for it to get done. After dinner, I'll get to the NDN Silver stuff.

Hopefully, I'll even get those five new pairs of earrings live on the site. But I'm operating on no sleep last night, and after today, that depends on whether I can stay awake long enough, and with a functional brain. These days, that latter is never a safe bet even at the best of times.

Never enough hours.

Photo copyright Aji, 2026; all rights reserved.

Did I mention a necklace? I'm pretty sure I mentioned a necklace.  

As you can see, beads are done, but he hasn't gotten the findings on it yet. It's been a day, and there are never enough hours in it.

That's going to be the case at least until the weekend, so tis might not be up on the site until then. [Of course, that might be the case for the five new pairs of earrings, too.] Oh, and if you're wondering about materials? That pendant [and the larger rondels in the strand] are all Petoskey stones, which is a particular kind of fossilized coral from my homelands. the rest of the strand of high-grade turquoise in two sizes [suspect Chinese or Persian; it was pricey enough for the latter]; two grades of Labradorite, one from Madagascar; and both sterling and fine silver beads.

I'm still hoping to have the earrings up yet tonight, but given everything else I have to get done, once again, it's not looking promising. Once again, late with everything. Because absolutely everything else takes precedence, and I'm so freaking tired. 

So I'm not caught up on housework, taxes, OR sales. Which is not good, because we still have to bring in sales weekly to break even. To that end, links are here:

Now posted at The NDN Silver Blog, it's a masterwork for all the shades of the sun, and all its gifts of life and breath and medicine, too. It's a necklace wrought in extraordinary fashion, three powerful and utterly unique cabochons brought together and suspended from a strand of incredible hand-selected beads, together manifest in the blessing of the sun's celestial fire, a daily gift of warmth and light and breath and life.

A little Art Nouveau, a little Art Deco.

Photo copyright Aji, 2026; all rights reserved.

One of four new pairs he finished today, in addition to a new pendant [that is going to be a full necklace, and he still has string the beads tomorrow, so no photos of that yet]. This pair is amazing: a little Art Nouveau, a little Art Deco, and those stones . . . . 

I'm hoping to have the earrings up yet tonight, but as late as it is, it's not looking promising. Once again, late with everything. Because absolutely everything else takes precedence, and I'm so freaking tired.

Red Willow Spirit: The Constant Flame

Now posted at The NDN Silver Blog, it's an edition of Red Willow Spirit for cold days and hard times, when spring arrives too soon and trickster winds make it feel like winter still.

More work in progress.

Photo copyright Aji, 2026; all rights reserved.

More work in progress. This one's going to be a pendant, he thinks: Petoskey stone, which is a specific form of fossilized coral found in my own homelands.  It's gorgeous cab, too.

Four pairs of earrings coming tomorrow:  small silver feathers; rose quartz big ovals; matched pair of deep blue turquoise, looks like probably the more recent Turquoise Mountain material; and those gorgeous Edwardian-filigree-looking ocean jasper dagger marquise-cuts.

Meanwhile, I'm drowning in paperwork and other nonsense.

And as I said yesterday, once again, new month, and here I am, late with everything. Because absolutely everything else takes precedence, and I'm so freaking tired. Of everything. Mostly of assholes. So I'm not caught up on housework, taxes, OR sales. Which is not good, because we still have to bring in sales weekly to break even. To that end, links are here:

Now posted at The NDN Silver Blog, it's a Monday Photo Meditation for days when warmth and light are needed, and a heart on fire with the resolve to do what's required of us. It's an image that dates back one year almost to the very day, a message reminding us of the medicine, the life, the love at the fire's heart.

Rockin'.

Photo copyright Aji, 2026; all rights reserved.

Look at that:  It looks like one of those old fin-de-siècle [the previous one, I mean] ornate mirror frames.

What it is is an earring bezel. The other one is stamped but not saw-cut yet. They'll hold dagger-size marquise cabochons of ocean jasper, bands of ivory and peach and forest green.

He's been rockin' in the studio, despite the limited amount of time he's had in it. the new hummingbird earrings that I don't have live yet, plus four additional pairs, plus three pendants.  All likely to be done sometime this week.

But once again, March first, new month, and here I am, late with everything. Because absolutely everything else takes precedence, and I'm so freaking tired. Of everything. Mostly of assholes. So I'm not caught up on housework, taxes, OR sales. Which is not good, because we still have to bring in sales weekly to break even. To that end, links are here:

A Spiral of Flame and Sparks and Smoke

Photo copyright Aji, 2026; all rights reserved.
