Took apart another watch and customized the dial, now its all mine. #proofofwork #watchstr

Finally finished the dial for another watch - this one took many careful hours but I’m thoroughly happy with how it turned out. Two layers of red & black enamel, then engraved under magnification. Will post pics once it’s assembled. #artstr #proofofwork

Finished and assembled!

You can get one for 200k sats plus shipping.

If anyone wants to know why I post my artwork on #proofofwork , here’s the answer :

I made it. The picture I post is proof that I did the artwork.

Completed another custom watch dial and engraved the case as well. Now I can do purple backgrounds on dials too.

I would love to work with you on a watch project.

As always, 200k sats plus shipping.

Now that I’ve created the template, i can just try out ideas to get a rough idea of how a watch would look with a bunch of different dial ideas! That way i can start a project with a clearer idea of what the goal is.

#proofofwork #artstr #watchstr

Made this in Illustrator today as a template when working with a client to make a hand-etched dial. It shows where the current pips, the brand info and date window are, as well as the size of the hands so that i can work around them. I can’t wait to start on a project for someone! #proofofwork #artstr

All finished the surprise gift for my friends. I accept payment in sats for artwork and provide proof of work progress photos to give you peace of mind that a human, not a bot, is making your art. #artstr #petportrait #proofofwork

Yesterday I went to a local bookstore and taught some folks how to make paracord keychains with carabiners on them. I provided all the materials so it was a good free experience for people to learn a new creative skill. In a few weeks I’m going to teach a class on making paper plants. I’ll be providing all the materials for that too, so all you’d need to participate is an interest in being creative. Another time I’m gonna teach a drawing class. The bookstore has no problem with this since there’s no money involved. These folks would never have had the money to sign up for a class on making crafty stuff. In my opinion, Freedom Tech isn’t just about digital technology, it’s about removing fiat barriers to learning skills. #proofofwork #freedomtech

After a few rough days health-wise, I’m back in my feet. Made a paper plant for a friend, using regular craft paper, some 22g wire, and a handmade cup. Super simple, and it really brightened her day. #artstr #proofofwork

Several of the bloodwood tables stacked to show their “floating” effect. #proofofwork #artstr

8.5x8.5x1” bloodwood display table, 1 inch legs with felt feet for safe use on any surface. Sealed with beeswax, so its not waterproof but it brings out the color and grain of the wood and it would be ridiculous to put any weird chemicals onto wood this amazing.

NOSTR WATCH UPDATE!

To celebrate the success of my Bitcoin #nostrwatch project, which has gained some IRL attention as well, I’m now offering the GT1618 for 180,000 sats.

DM me and I’ll assemble one for you. Want some custom work done? Different dial color? One-of-a-kind artwork laser engraved just for you? Let’s talk.

#proofofwork for another variation on the #nostrwatch
This one is a #minimalist variant.

Hand finished the dial, included the second hand as well as the date wheel. Removed the hour markers on the dial.

Leather strap shown is mine. I will help pair your bespoke watch with a great strap of your choosing as part of the individual service with this option.

This blank slate could make a great background for a one-of-a-kind piece of artwork, a logo, et cetera.

I can make a vector version of just about anything you can think of, work with you to develop your idea to perfection, and have it laser engraved onto a dial like this. This one was finished at 914852.

Sats only.

We decided would be the most awesome looking logo ever and thought up an awesome name to go with it.

Challenge completed! Finally a successful buttonhole!! Learning anything via Yt videos or even written instructions is so difficult for me because I have such a bad short term memory that I forget what i just watched or read before trying to replicate it. its not that im “not tech savvy” even though I say that to avoid getting into this, I just don’t have the part of my brain that at least partly serves that function. I’m not trying to make excuses or be lame, I really am happy to be here and I appreciate the encouragement from you guys. #artstr #proofofwork

Proof of Work for today. Got to line a canvas holder with a piece of the wool I got recently at a local shop. I purchased a couple very small pieces since there was a huge variety. Shown with some index cards & pens for reference. This would be a great size for a hardware wallet. I’m stacking to one day afford a hardware wallet myself.

Hey Nostr!!! For those who enjoy taking a sketchbook or journal along with them on their travels, I also make these single-pocket holders custom-sized for just about anything. The cotton canvas is sturdy and washable as well. I can also add a belt loop. Smaller versions of this style could also hold a #hardwarewallet if you want to take one with you but not just have it sitting in your pocket. I have tons of colors & patterns for the interior fabric and can add thick padding as well. For the outside, I’ve got gray, black, brown and orange. #proofofwork #artstr #sewist #grownostr #plebchain

Proof of work for today. I’ve wanted a pair of these exact model and color shoes since I was in middle school. Here is the first drawing I ever did of a pair of Jordan 1’s after I saw them in school. I got several things wrong on them because I had just seen them that day. But it was what I thought I saw. Over the years I kept drawing sneakers, but the black Jordan 3’s were my favorite of all time. These are the Jordan 3’s that I received today as payment for a completed project. Owning a pair of these shoes has been one of my bucket list items before I knew what a bucket list was. #proofofwork #sneakers #jordan3 #plebchain #grownostr
