Hey all - Aji and Wings desperately need sales to make it through the end of the year, so I'm going to thread some of @wingsndnsilver.bsky.social 's posts of their jewelry here. The most reliable way to purchase is to email Aji at ndnsilverbywings (at) gmail (dot) com. All of these are handmade.

And this is why I never share anything by them, OD, or any of the others of their ilk. They're projects of the party and its apparatchiks, and they don't give a shit about justice, only about retaining their access and sinecures.
I'm double and triple checking to make sure I'm not just blind, but the closest Indivisible comes to demanding consequences for Renee Good's murderer seems to be "accountability", which is never defined further except as a way to "rein in" ICE.
They're just swapping buzz words.

Also: The Minnesota Historical Society has this flag but *doesn’t keep it on display,* because it’s, you know, a confederate flag and that’s gross.
So deeply Minnesotan. “We humiliated our opponent but the real prize is that we refuse to display the trophy. They know we have it.”

A good time to remind everyone of the Minnesota First. One of the earliest state militias to volunteer to fight in the Civil War—three years after joining the Union! Provided one of the essential turning points at Gettysburg. Took the flag of the Virginia regiment they captured AND STILL HAVE IT.

Okay, tonight's inventory selections.
Today's feature is a pair of nearly-matching stackable cuffs [shown below], one in the imagery of "A Flowering Radiance," the other of "Luminous Night."
We have two pairs of earrings wrought in the same style, one for each sense and spirit.

Between each pair of sunbursts he stamped a smaller 8-petaled floral motif. At the midpoint of each side, he incised short, deep diagonal lines on the narrow edges, adding deeper parallel lines at either end, filework that wraps around the underside and edges.

The convex surface makes stampwork and other silversmithing techniques trickier than on flat surfaces, but Wings handled these beautifully. The top here is stamped freehand, end to end, in a repeating pattern of slightly 3D sunburst motifs, a stamp that wraps slightly around the slope of the edges.

It comes in all sorts of geometric shapes, flat, braid, twisted, bead, molded patterns, etc. Half-round wire is flat on the underside and convex on the top; from the end, it looks like a solid half-circle, hence the name.

"Wire" is a term of art for metals that poured, as molten ingot, into industrial-sized molds, very slender and very long, cooled, cut into lengths and typically sold by the foot.
