Have you guys started thinking about ram/sheep/goat?

Ok, ok. Last hide of the season! This is an abandoned concept I carved up but didn't have time to pursue. This hide location felt fitting for my seahorse! Lol #monkeyshines2026

Last coin! I tried to come up with a fitting place to stash my last coin and couldn't come up with anything better than a nod to the pony express! Plus with that view... #monkeyshines2026

Fun fact, this coin was the first of my casting session, and my second to last to hide! #monkeyshines2026

Linc up with the trees in this park to find our next hide! #monkeyshines2026

Grab a seat and enjoy the sun in this smallish park! #monkeyshines2026

Sun's out, birds are lively. Last call for my coins this afternoon! #monkeyshines2026

A weight has been lifted from my shoulders! Finally got one last night! Thank you so, so much to all who make this possible! Seriously, this is a special thing that doesn't just happen everywhere.

I mean, I guess I have to... #monkeyshines2026

Back to everyone's favorite clue! This park couldn't Ferry me to glass, but maybe it can get you to some pretty aluminum? #monkeyshines2026

Despite a few Carr campers, I managed to drop off a coin to start Friday evening! #monkeyshines2026

Anyone coming out tonight?

Final push, guys! Less than $200 to the goal! #monkeyshines2026 gofund.me/35c8d4182

I'm sure you all saw by now, but it sounds like next year's monkeyshines will be the last. If that turns out to be true, it's been a hell of a run! We'll be in it until the end! www.fox13seattle.com/video/fmc-tb...

We're now up to 4 pieces of glass found in front of us! 🫠 Lol Congrats to the person we talked to. It was nice to meet you! Had to call it for today. Back at it during the week!

Haven't seen this spot get much love so far this season. #monkeyshines2026

This horse hates Mondays and loves lasagna and short trails to the left in a tree at the top of the first stairs... #monkeyshines2026

As someone renovating, I find this a little haunting. 😅 #monkeyshines2026

How do you get closer to the sky? Why, a tower, of course! #monkeyshines2026

It's Friday, it's turning into a pleasant night, and I get to drop my first of the night! 😋 #monkeyshines2026

Up to 91% now! The home stretch! #monkeyshines2026

I got hungry hiding this particular rare coin. Lol (You'll see what I mean) #monkeyshines2026

Almost 85%! Yesterday was a blast. No better time to show some appreciation and give the GoFundMe a little bump! #monkeyshines2026 www.gofundme.com/f/support-ta...

What even are these pants? Lol #monkeyshines2026

Don't forget to wash your hands! #monkeyshines2026

We're feeling a bit stumped so far... #monkeyshines2026

No. 51 #monkeyshines2026

It was low-ish, and the second picture is as important as the first.

Light a fire under your tush and find one of our coins within a city block of this fine piece! #monkeyshines2026

Horses like apples, right? #monkeyshines2026

One last stop! Time for us to Step inside out of the cold! #monkeyshines2026

Y's it so cold down here? #monkeyshines2026

Happy Presidents Day #monkeyshines2026

But seriously, it's Freezing out here! #monkeyshines2026

Grab your tickets, our rodeo has finally arrived! 🐎 #monkeyshines2026

Everyone's out of the hot tub, rinsed, filed, and brushed. Allow me to introduce my hides for this season! These are Celtic silver horse coin replicas. The Treveri coin (~50 BC) is on the left, the Iceni coin (~50 AD) is on the right. #monkeyshines2026

Can't make it out this weekend, but I'll have a preview up soon! Not to leave you empty-handed, if you're looking for something to listen to while you're hunting/hiding, I made a year of the horse playlist. Enjoy! #monkeyshines2026 open.spotify.com/playlist/5Wt...

It's not the straw that stirs the drink, but it is the graphite rod that scrapes the dross? Not quite the same ring to it...

As the graphite chunks all over will tell you, horses are apparently stubborn!

I've been slacking on video or pictures, but I did manage a few glamor shots. :) #monkeyshines2026

Finally, *Finally* it's casting night! #monkeyshines2026

Sun's out, funds out! Have a few bucks after payday? The #monkeyshines2026 GoFundMe is 2/3 of the way to their goal! Let's get them that final 1/3 to keep the magic going year after year! gofund.me/52f87b1ab

I had to simplify a bit this year, but I'm pretty happy with the designs I'm rolling with. Not quite ready to show them off in full, but I'm getting too antsy not to do a little sneak peek! #monkeyshines2026

What better time to donate than now? They're about 1/3 of the way there! www.gofundme.com/f/support-ta... #monkeyshines2026

New crucible, who dis? I've got some patching to do on the furnace before I get on to casting, but the refractory cement is in hand. Getting closer now!

Looks like things are slowly starting for #monkeyshines2026! People scattered across social media last year. I stand by leaving Twitter, but the fragmentation is a drag. What's your social media plan this year? Where are you checking? Where are you posting? Mostly, is it worth staying on Bluesky?

I officially had my first monkeyshines dream of the season last night.

It's time to get your candle cups! They make great gifts! tacomaglassblowing-com.3dcartstores.com/Monkeyshine-...
