Here's a really pretty piece of polychrome jasper I got from Fox Creek Mineral and Craft Co LLC. I might rework it into another point type at some point

I got really lucky with both of these flutes, the second one wanted to dive but didn't. This one is made out or Keokuk chert

This is a point I made quite a while back out of some extremely tough PA jasper. The guy I got the stone from said it looked like the points he used to find in the fields. That was a good compliment in my book!

I didn't have much time yesterday but I tried to chip on a piece of obsidian I found in the rock pile. It was giving me issues from the start and ended up in 3 pieces lol. You win some and lose some...

Found this little goodie in my rock pile. Another chunk of red alibates that I had forgotten about. It flaked so easily compared to some of the raw agates and jaspers I've been working

If anyone is looking for a kitten, we are taking care of these little guys for a couple weeks while their caretaker is out of town. They were abandoned and are probably 3 weeks old. They obviously won't be ready to go for a while but I can put you in contact with their caretaker if you're interested.

I took advantage of the dry weather to clean up my rock pile. I found lots of goodies buried under the flakes lol. This cleanup kind of got me thinking and I have a theory about many "caches" people find. This debitage pile is 9 months old and there were probably over 100 bifaces, brokes, and even full points I dropped and forgot about. This is on top of all the pieces I finish and bring inside. A lot of caches could be just remnants of old knapping sites that got covered up. Just a thought

Some recent points out of jaspers. Bullseye/goldfield jasper and Owyhee jasper I believe. The rain finally stopped so I can go back to my regular knapping area and sweep the porch off lol
