I found one last year and this year, and have seen others, but they all had the same style that was fairly distinct and different than this one. That’s so cool! I love yours.

Umm… I have no idea why that link was added. NOBODY CLICK ON THE LINK (that probably goes nowhere) 😅

Yay, awesome finds! Ive never seen a Grant medallion like that before 🤩

I always think the blocks look so cool… loving how the red looks on this one

Very slow start finding today but I so love what I brought home! Thank you 4eyedmonkey for the glass pendant and @mztrezapocrypha.bsky.social for the lithophane 💕 The others were untagged, but the 3D printed pendant sparkle-glows, and the other two shines are just too cute 💀 #monkeyshines2025

If you LOVE my snake medallions, you should hurry on over (this one is not impervious to a serendipity find, I’m making an exception for festivity 💕) #monkeyshines2025

‪Dang it. I forgot that I was linking to my public Facebook page. Consider this a freebie. But next time you’ve got to click on the public link again 🙃‬ ‪https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1F7QC6QoT6/?mibextid=wwXIfr‬

Nature is neat. In a park with frozen imprints of crows’ feet, And along the path in a hemlock tree, Awaits a clay tree snake for you, from me. #monkeyshines2025

Hmm, closest thing I have to valentines are magenta tree snakes and pink medallions… #monkeyshines2025

Oh good! 😮‍💨 Caster, I can especially relate to this 😂 I actually made two models of clay snakes last March too. Both looked surprisingly really good… So naturally I waited until December or January to start making them (and also somehow completely lost the knack for those models too)

OMG! How are you doing such brilliant things already?? Jealous of the creativity and anti-procrastination. The monkeyshines banner on the first is cool (and it is a bit of a circus, isn’t it? 😅). The second one made me laugh out loud ❤️ And I feel like the third one could be a glass stamp. All good!

110

I love the inclusion of the monkey, it’s really cute ❤️ And adds a bit of character that isn’t typically depicted in horses. Circus theme totally slipped my mind as a possibility, and would be fun! I’m excited to see wherever your brain goes and whatever you make :)

Is that a little monkey rider I spy??

@rnmonkey253.bsky.social I’d really been hoping for one of your Auryn medallions and finally found one today 🎉 It’s even prettier in person (and so shimmery!), thank you 💚 Also found a cool wood snake by Featherseed last night 😊 #monkeyshines2025

… I’m going to have to open some more accounts!

110

But DESPERATION!!! The two platforms is so weird in that regard! I never know what to do 🤣

110

I hear ya… I’m desperate for a thing or two yet too (including a first orb 😵‍💫). It was a recent find, so I hope there are more, and wish you luck!!!

MoNkey 253 @monkey253.bsky.social · 12/02/2025

Treasures from the last few days. I was lucky to score two commissioned pieces (coin by Saign C. and ceramic piece). One of them was quite sneaky and required climbing a tree (on probably the only day of the week I was able to do so)! I love them all. Thank you makers/hiders 💕#monkeyshines2025

Anyway, please don’t mistake the delayed posting for a lack of excitement or appreciation. You all have really kept me going, and not just in my hunt for the ever elusive first orb 💞

I’ve not posted most of my serendipity finds yet and am really sorry 😥 I truly love & appreciate everything I’ve collected, and will post soon. It’s been a rough month for me. And aside from my phone being on the brink of ☠️, every time I plan to post, some small crisis crops up. (cont.)…

MoNkey 253 @monkey253.bsky.social · 11/02/2025

I know but I missed it (last year was my first DBT) so I had to try! 😜 I’m still on the hunt for a first orb, but will get to watching more Dragon Ball soon…

000

💗 So many beautiful pieces this year!

000

Thank you! 💕 And yes, it’s all deep and moody ☺️

000

YES GIRL!!! 🙌 🎉 Nice job, and am happy for you!

Woohoo, amazing! Congrats on these awesome finds ❤️

OH HI!!!🎉😭 It happened!! Spotted it from 50 yds away and my heart skipped a beat but what else is new😂 I didn’t get excited or believe it was glass until I was 3 ft away! Thank you so much Ms Monkey! So grateful for this beautiful piece and tradition 💜 #monkeyshines2025

😱 A SECOND one?? That’s very exciting!!

Yeah I’ve been really awkward and basically run away with my hands over my eyes for some rogue hiders in the past 🤣 The level of distraction and unintentional mega over abundance of time is still feeling a little hard to cope with though 😓

It’s cool, I just groped and bargained with all actual salal leaves in all the parks today and sang Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want by The Smiths 100 times 😅

Just added the story in a comment here!

Right? ANY glass. But the salal leaf orbs are ❤️‍🔥

Okay, it’s not that interesting, but here’s the story. Prefaces… 1. You have to trust me on the hows & whys. 2. It’s pretty embarrassing, so if you don’t “believe” in ADHD, please don’t read. I’m so baffled by it, but have also been incredibly rundown and keep “losing”🤢 my meds lately, so 🤷‍♀️ 🥲

This gif is really working on two levels 😂

JUST A DAY IN THE LIFE IT’S FINE 🤣

Anyone find this southern tree snake yet? #monkeyshines2025

200

Y’all are great 😂 I will have to think on what I can say without compromising park monkeys or their shenanigans. …Also I just got a bloody mouth and loose tooth from taking another shine out of a tree so am a bit distracted now 🥴 😓 #surprisinglyonlymythirdorfourthleastluckydaythisweek

Okay, this one especially made me laugh out loud 🤣
