Elf NFTs — Elves
It is not easy to find elves — Coco spotted them anyway.
The Elf NFTs are the elf corner of the Apparel Search NFT collections: a small group of 2021 artworks in which Coco the dog spots elves. It is not easy to find or capture elves — which is rather the point of the series — and the pieces were issued on OpenSea, the NFT marketplace, with every edition name below linking to its own listing.
The collection holds eleven pieces: the full scene, Coco with Multiple Elves, the original Coco Spots Elves artwork, and a run of cropped treatments of that spotting scene, each finished in a different style.
The Artwork: Coco Spots Elves
The central artwork shows Coco finding elves — a German Shorthaired Pointer doing what pointers do, but with far smaller and more magical quarry than birds. A second scene, Coco with Multiple Elves, widens the discovery: not one elf but a whole company of them.
Most of the collection is built from cropped versions of the spotting scene, each cropped in and then treated — Burst, Cyanotype, Gray Popper, HK, Kraft, Retro, Scratch, Sunset and Grainy Grey — so collectors can pick the finish that suits the scene's woodland mood.

Elves, Fashion and NFTs
NFTs — non-fungible tokens — are unique digital records used to own and trade digital artwork, and fashion took a strong interest in them in 2021; the Apparel Search fashion term guide defines the fashion NFT in full. Elves sit naturally in that moment: fantasy figures have dressed fashion editorials and costume design for decades, and here they appear as collectible digital artwork instead.
The elf pieces belong to the same 2021 Apparel Search NFT experiment as the three Coco adventure collections, the reptile and snake pieces, and the limited edition rare creations — small, playful series issued a few pieces at a time through the autumn and winter of 2021.
Common Questions
What are the Elf NFTs?
They are a small 2021 NFT collection on OpenSea built around Coco the dog spotting elves: two full scenes — Coco with Multiple Elves and Coco Spots Elves — plus cropped, restyled treatments of the spotting scene.
Why are most of the elf pieces cropped versions?
The collection takes one spotting scene and crops in on it, then applies a different finish to each crop — Cyanotype, Kraft, Retro, Scratch, Sunset and others — so each piece is a distinct token of the same discovery.
