Eh not your fault. I haven’t been that active on nostr… ramping up gradually.

The fire is taking shape…
For those curious, this is orange honeycomb calcite. It’s a relatively soft stone, but it fractures easily, so you can’t use hammer and chisel. Rotary tools only.
But the translucency is out of this world, especially once it’s polished to a high shine. https://image.nostr.build/ee7f221037e4ff0f47739a648f0ee18bc6f2ff84396f2d2d5509e9675160e3ee.jpg

What is Satoshi doing at this very moment? https://image.nostr.build/a906405a6bd26227528ffa23d7563ac1aad229d522b7ea4781868ff44eea77c8.jpg

Bitcoin Art Update⚒️
I wanted to hollow out the eyes to give more contrast and I stumbled upon a new technique. New to me at least.
The effect is that the eyes follow you and I was able to achieve different “colors” for the cornea and pupil by varying the depth and therefore the level of shadow.
I like to think Satoshi is out there somewhere, watching hyperbitcoinization play out. So now in my sculpture at least, he is..
What do you all think? https://video.nostr.build/d78257c9b043ce22047862ebd2cb4a43285b95f980959dab1bd3f95d99f5d9d1.mp4

Beauty is the sunrise in a drop of dew, the fragile ray of light through the verdant canopy, the unfurling of spring in a tender flower.
Art, however noble, is but a feeble attempt to capture those fleeting moments and all the attendant memories and emotions therein. https://image.nostr.build/410a2a8aba6bb0e0bb6c06a07d920d71c0bc752168ec4d786902a6b55578acdc.jpg

Started a new slate lettering project.
VIRES IN NUMERIS
Here’s a timelapse carving the letter R
R is fun to carve, but it’s also one of the more complicated and time consuming letters. It has curves, straight sections, triple intersections.. it’s a great showcase for v cut lettering.
For reference this letter took about 35-40 minutes. https://nostr.build/av/c9177b0b4a43eb976fa3075eb176bff111948ca5b36261f40f167467e23770fc.mov

It’s amazing how Bitcoin can change you if you open yourself up to that change.
I’m heading off grid tomorrow for an 8 day sculpting symposium in the mountains of Colorado.. 🌲🏔️☀️
2 lectures a day and the rest of the time spent outdoors, working on a new sculpture.⚒️
I’ve considered myself an artist for a long time, but it was only when I became a Bitcoiner and lowered my time preference that I seriously considered learning to work in stone.
Bitcoin is so much more than just a monetary revolution. The promise of a world built on sound money allows us all to think long term, to improve ourselves, and in so doing, the world around us.
I’ll be taking photos and videos while I’m gone, but I’m going to try to disconnect from the craziness of the world as best I can… see all you amazing Bitcoiners when I get back.✌️ https://nostr.build/i/7257d30ff1447b18a19df2832515121e7f9ccb58dedac8ca34cc17c104cd3cd9.jpg

Two steps forwards, one step back..
I’m going to have to dig deeper into the marble, essentially shifting the pinky, ring, and middle fingers back in order to make the positioning of the forefinger accurate. Luckily I gave myself plenty of extra stone to be able to do this.
This wasn’t a mistake per se, but something I knew I was going to have to do eventually. But this is what happens when you’re attempting to carve directly into the stone rather than use a pointing machine or even basic measurement tools.😂 For my next figurative sculpture I’m definitely going to learn how to properly tackle this aspect of the process. https://nostr.build/i/3ff12a9d70e7da6efe9c6ecf4725ab77fa6189a0ae0e756edb95bb37c736f17a.jpg

Made a little bit of progress tonight, mostly working on the thumb, forefinger and the surrounding area. Stay tuned for more updates..⚒️ https://nostr.build/i/def208c8daef7e8baf72eb4694cf727703ae2a140b453cd9627ad9dd5c66bf57.jpg

I’ve been procrastinating on this piece because of how difficult it’s been and I’ve been worried about making a mistake. But that’s a mistake in itself.
Forced myself back into the studio last night and ended up making some great progress.
I’m tentatively calling this piece “Rebirth,” and it’s inspired by my Bitcoin journey and the many other people whose lives have been changed by Bitcoin. I’ve carved the hand in the “Gyan Mudra” or the “Mudra of Wisdom or Knowledge,” and eventually I will separate the thumb and forefinger to hold an Opendime. The background of the piece is still up the air, but I am leaning towards carving a lotus flower, and having the hand emerging from a water like surface.
Stay tuned for more updates. 🤙 https://nostr.build/i/764ebdfa146e9f8bffbf4c807a5ccca10fa78728da7464b4531591c89a6e38e1.jpg https://nostr.build/i/a07e96f3ecb66f85c39ded4fefa7a3cc44c5693d9338840dea1a0d002a1acbc9.jpg

Finished this letter carving recently. Thinking my next one will be nostr themed… ideas?
