Photo copyright Wings, 2026; all rights reserved.

Now posted at The NDN Silver Blog, it's an edition of Red Willow Spirit for the week in October that is, generally speaking, the most starkly beautiful period of fall here. It's three related photographic images linked by two works of wearable art from the same category, one of them new, all of them capturing the beauty and power inherent in fog's shadows and fall's fire in this place.

Monday Photo Meditation: Flurries, Flakes, and Fire

Photo copyright Wings, 2026; all rights reserved.

Now posted at The NDN Silver Blog, it's a Monday Photo Meditation for the second half of October, and a remembrance of what conditions now should be here. It's an image that Wings shot on film some 20 years ago, one of a series of [the other three of which will appear in tomorrow's post] that show clearly that this point in the season is meant to be one of flurries, flakes, and fire.

At least it *looked* like October.

Photo copyright Aji, 2026; all rights reserved.

That's what brought our tiny bit of rain today. You could barely call bit "rain"; it was more like mist, except the drops were actually defined. Tiny, but defined.

Far too warm today, but at least it looked like October, however briefly. 

Just been a shitty day on every front. I think this is day four of my hands being completely mangled by RA and lupus, and I'm so over it already. And it's not just my hands; it's both feet, my neck, it's endless. And nothing works.

Meanwhile, I'm still so far behind that it's ridiculous. The rest of the month, hell, year is going to be very hard, anyway. I've still got to get caught up on all the rest of my work, entirely apart from the now-several days I've lost here. And I've still got to bring in a lot more sales through the end of the year. This year has been hellishly expensive already, and we've also got some other big-ticket things to take care of between now and then, and that only happens if we make some sales now. And we can still use help with shares, testimonials, wishlist stuff, etc. To that end, links are here:

  • Sales here; 
  • Testimonials here; 
  • Amazon wishlist here [I've added a few new items, things we could really use but that I can't justify spending money on right now, towels and bath mats];
  • 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, a year that, so far, has been very grim.

Photo copyright Aji, 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, the Warrior Woman, this one dating back just shy of ten years exactly.

It Is Fall’s Light That Heralds Winter’s Frost

Photo copyright Aji, 2026; all rights reserved.

[Note:  This is Wednesday's post, written then, but unable to be published due to an Internet outage.] 

Now posted at The NDN Silver Blog, it’s a masterwork by any measure, one conceived and created for the end of winter, but one that suits the weeks of its beginnings, as well. It’s an extraordinary necklace wrought in an old traditional chandelier style but with Wings’s own inimitable contemporary twist, a work of opposing shades and spirits manifest in four separate pendants and beads hand-selected to match, all of them reminding us that it is fall’s light that heralds winter’s frost.
