Lodestars

Now posted at The NDN Silver Blog, it's the stars that light the indigo hours, those threshold moments just after dusk and just before the dawn. It's a pair of works that give the wearer a bit of the talismanic force and the protection of the light of the stars.

Ruffled

Why she chose this day to return, entirely out of season, I have no idea.

But if experience is any guide, it is a sign, and a good one. Even at her most ruffled, she is still one of our most powerful spirits. She wanted my attention this morning.

She’s got it now.

NDN Silver Flash Sale, Day 2

Photo copyright Aji, 2016; all rights reserved.

It's Day 2 of our flash sale at NDN Silver, and today and tomorrow only, you can score unprecedented deals on Wings's work (and that of other Native artists), and help us in our effort to build a home at long last. Here are the details:

• Today and tomorrow only; sale ends at midnight MDT tomorrow.
• 20% off all of Wings's work, silverwork and photography both.
• 30% off all work by other Native artists.
• As always, buyer pays shipping, handling, and insurance.
• We cannot offer layaway or installment payments for this sale; no exceptions.
• Sale applies only to current inventory; commissioned works are ineligible.
• We accept personal checks/money orders, VISA and M/C, and PayPal (PayPal is preferred over credit/debit cards); use the Contact form for details.

Wings never puts his own work on sale, so if you've had your eye on something of his for a while, this is a golden opportunity to get it at a price that won't be repeated. It means that works like Kachina, above, that retail for $2,200, will go for $1,760 (+ s/h/i).

And it means that you can get in on the ground floor with both our emerging young Native artists and established master, at a rate of 30% off:

Works like Camille's fabulous Mountain Lion Bowl, above, will be reduced from $375 to $262.50 + s/h/i (which is a steal for her work).

Of course, if you're not in the market for beautifully authentic Native art, but you still want to help with our fundraising effort to build a house after nearly six full years without a real one, you can do that by donating and sharing the links here:

If you scroll down to the lower right-hand corner of the page, you can grab the widget from the purple box, which will give you that image above. If you share the link directly from the widgets, it helps more than just sharing the link to this post or Facebook/Twitter shares.

Thanks to everyone for your help thus far. Our goal is to raise an additional $5,000 over the course of the weekend, through sales, donations, etc. Please help us reach our goal by sharing the links and spreading the word.

Light at the Center

Now posted at The NDN Silver Blog, it's a small but powerful recent work that captures the power of daybreak. It's a piece that embodies the light at the center, held in place by the spirits of the skies.

The post is here. Wings's main page is here. Today and tomorrow only, this piece, along with all of Wings's work is 20% off (works by other artists are 30% off); simply inquire via the site's Contact form. And, as always, sales are much needed, so shares of the site links are much appreciated.

Joy

She is a messenger, this tiny creature with the ability to fly in all directions.

No wonder the chance to feed is for her a moment of pure and unbridled joy. She hovers, then perches, then drinks . . . and when she drinks, her small spirit wings beat an involuntary tattoo upon the evening air.

Announcing a One-Time Only Three-Day Sale at NDN Silver

Photo copyright Aji, 2016; all rights reserved.

We made a great deal of progress this week on building the house, but it came at great cost — far more than we had anticipated. Part of it is that things are moving faster than we anticipated, too. Part of it is simply that this stuff costs, big-time. Despite our best efforts, we're looking at having to halt construction and put the crew on hiatus next week unless we can cover materials and labor by the end of the weekend.

So, for this weekend — today, tomorrow, and Sunday ONLY — we are doing something we have never, ever done before: We are offering a sale on everything in the gallery, including Wings's work. Yes, even the belt above.

It applies to work by other Native artists, too, at an even higher price break. Yes, even the gigantic medicine bear.

Here are the details, and there are no exceptions:  20% off on Wings's silverwork and photographs; 30% on all work by other Native artists. No sales tax, as always. Buyer pays shipping, handling, and insurance. Absolutely no layaway or installment payments. We take personal checks and money orders (contact me for payee and addressing info); VISA and MasterCard; and PayPal (PayPal is much preferred over credit/debit cards). 

And if you're not in the market for gorgeous authentic indigenous art, but still want to help out, you can kick in a few bucks by means of our YouCaring page. We also hope everyone will go to the page and share the link via the widgets there, and spread around the code from the purple widget box at the lower right, which will give you this:

This is, as I said, I one-shot offer. Wings never puts his own work on sale; this is a major sacrifice for him. But it's a chance to score really beautiful, spirit-filled wearable Native art (and photography) at a price you're unlikely to see ever again. 

Thanks to everyone who's helped out thus far. Here's a chance to get a great deal in the process.

Photo copyright Aji, 2016; all rights reserved.

It's our Friday Feature at The NDN Silver Blog, with a child's work from Wings's private collection. It's a piece crafted in the old way, even though it features some more contemporary material, and the whole manages to conspire with the stars.

The post is here. Wings's main page is here. Inquiries via the site's Contact form. And, as always, sales are much needed (now more than ever), so shares of the site links are much appreciated.
