Evolution - sand sculpture NFT

avatar
(Edited)

I'm going to ease myself back into blogging. After a break of over two months, I hope I can still connect my thought to my words and spell them out, so as to make sense to others. I still have many sculptures in sand, snow and ice to document and so hope that my readers will continue with me on this journey.

I will admit it is hard for me to find the time in my day to sit down and Hive but I think it is important that I try and steal that moment for myself. To be creative is food for the soul and it gives me something to think about as I am falling asleep, which helps give a good night's rest.

So, as I gear up to get back into this lark I have decided I will start slow and write about my latest NFT on @nftshowroom

Evolution

I see that Nfts have been experiencing some growing pains lately and although I am still trying to form my own opinion about them I will continue to release some of my favourite pieces to see if there are any takers. I know Jacks first Tweet has not been a great investment. I'm even sure Justin was glad he missed that bullet. But what would he know? didn't he have his ass handed to him when he tried to buy a hive full of angry bees?

My own foray into NFTs has not produced any buyers, just yet, but I think it will be a nice collection when a shrewd investor finally discovers it and understands they are buying what can not be bought. You see, the NFTs of my sculptures are not just the sculpture image but the actual sculpture itself. Much like Jack's Tweet, it is not just the words but what they represent. (and that twit can't even spill Twitter)

This sold for $2.9 million and all I am looking for for the first NFTed sand sculpture is less than 300 dollhairs. Now, that's value for money!

Joking not joking aside I figured I would make my next piece a bit more attractive and discount to the rock bottom price of 15 Hive. I even manipulated the market and made Hive reach new lows. So now you have no excuses.

My ideas behind NFTs is evolving and my latest piece is also evolving, hence the name.

I wrote a full blog post about this piece before but as a quick description is was about my musing on how matter likes company and that was how things evolved for little particles to the complex creatures we are today.

Adding to my collection

I've said too much and so I'll leave it here but before I go I just wanted to give a shout out to @tygertyger I saw their work on NFTshowroom and this piece jumped out at me so, I snapped it up. I have not communicated with the artist till now but this just spoke to me. So, Thank you.

It reminded me of a sculpture I made last summer and I just had to have it. I have not shared that sculpture properly yet, only the collection of videos of the Making-of which you can see on 3speak. Check out @tygertyger s work if you get a chance. You may find something for your collection.

I giggled and feel like I shouldn't have XD Glad you still have your humour :)

Take your time easing back in, unless you're the type that prefers to sit down and get into a zone, I've found that when pressed for time it helps if you are able to sit down and peck at a post every time you have a break between things til it's ready to post.

If I don't laugh I will have to cry. Any way to get emotions out of my system works. At least with humour, I can bring a smile to others.

It takes me a few days to put a post together. I am like a moth around a bulb. Circling around and hitting the post every now and again with a couple of words. Finding the time to do it in one sitting is not possible
