Hi!
Here I am again, this time proposing to do something a bit more crafty.
For the past six months I’ve been doing some experimentations with cross stitch. Which, besides being a great way of relaxing, is also something that catches your eye and is able to pass messages or feelings! (You know, some cute “I love you”, alongside “fudge the patriarchy”)
What?
An experimentation of physical creations as NFTs
How?
Using the methods of Cross Stitching, I’ll create 4 garden themed pieces that will then be photographed/scanned to create the NFTs. Those NFTs can either be sold as individual NFTs or redeemable NFTs for the physical pieces.
Time estimation:
Total 6 weeks; 4 for creation, 1 for ideation & mapping and 1 at the end to finalise and photograph professionally for digitization.
The estimated value in materials would be:
(based on the shop I use to buy all my materials)
Materials : 80$ (+/- conversion from euro pricing)
- Embroidery Hoop - 6.90€ per hoop - approx. 27.60€
- Thread - 1.40€ per colour aiming to a minimum of 6 colours - approx. 8.40€
- Needle pack - 2.40€
- Fabric - 12€ per metre aiming to a minimum of 2m (50cm per work) - approx. 24€
Work : 270$
- Sourcing materials
- Mapping of the pattern (1 hour)
- Creation of the cross-stitch piece (approx 4 hours per piece = 16 hours)
- Washing and ironing of the fabrics for blocking
- Photography/scanning of the finished pieces (2 hours)
- Minting of NFTs
Total requested: $350
Thank you!
