Our last find for the weekend was one of my bucket list official rogues by Kathryn Traxler Anderson!

We found her dragon print last year and bought a magpie print from her. Such fantastic work!

What an awesome day! We found an official Grant rogue and a medallion this morning!

We agonized for a while over which glass to keep, but we wound up re-hiding this one. We're feeling super grateful today. 😊

Interesting. I wasn't expecting this post for a little while longer.

Found an Ouroboros yesterday. Seemed right for a bronze hide!

I can't remember who was making these adorable little guys, but found at Urban Waters! He's very cute! Thank you!

We found another medallion last night as well, but we rehid it after we found the clear one shortly after. :)

Snakes alive! We found this beautiful medallion tonight! Clear glass is a bucket list find. We could not be more thrilled!

That's half the cycle complete for us!! Thank you to Ms. Monkey and crew for all the magic they built into this crazy event!

First bronze is in the wild! It's one of the two complete pours. Good luck!

I can't remember. It's called Bronze Point, right? 👀👀

Our hooligans have no manners. Just a little too defiant!

I cast two full bronze pieces this year, still to come.

I made a little extra bronze so I did a short pour to finish off the crucible, last pour of the season. I think there's enough there that it's worth putting out, but I want your opinions. Put it out with a warning or chop it up for next year?

It's been added to my toolbox, front and center! I have more stickers on the other side but they're covered by clamps. Lol

Someone left a snowball in a doorway in Proctor. I bet a few of you saw it.

Anyway, it was a throwback to our most maddening #notamonkeyshine, back in 2021. Featuring baby Moosh!

We stumbled across a rather snakey snake!
