My NFT Creations

Yes — Apparel Search experimented in the world of NFTs. This page is the hub of that 2021 experiment: every collection and every first creation is gathered here, from Coco the dog's three adventure series to unicorns, otters, dragons, eagles and a small mountain of Chewie artwork. The collections each have their own page; the first individual creations are listed, with their minting dates, further down this page.

The themed collections come first in the strip below — the limited edition rare pieces, Coco's tiger, dinosaur and crocodile adventures, and the reptile, snake, elf and mice pages. Below them sits the full first-creations list: the pieces minted on OpenSea between late November and mid-December 2021, in the order they were made.

How the NFTs Were Made

How were the fabulous NFTs made? From a mix of a few programs — photographs and digital artwork treated, restyled and finished in software, then minted on OpenSea. Some pieces carry their making in their notes: an eagle's background was a photograph taken in October 2021 with its color tweaked in editing; a dragon's approach was a park photograph taken on an iPhone 12, its maker not noticing the dragon until the last moment — fortunately, that particular dragon is scared of dogs, and a dog was at hand.

The minting ran in a burst: dragons first in late November 2021, then Coco's adventures, then the December pieces — elves, mice, Chewie in several forms, and finally the unicorn and the sea otter on December 18. The gold dragon and the silver dragon share the same crest; possibly they are the same dragon.

The Collections and the Fashion NFT

Three of the first creations grew into collections of their own: Coco Taunts Tigers on Log Prowl, Coco Stomps Baby Dino and Coco Fights Crocodile each became a series of treated editions, and the creature pages — reptiles, snakes, elves and mice — gathered their families in one place each. The limited edition rare creations took the opposite path: the same stars, minted only two copies at a time.

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. This hub is the playful, personal end of that world: one dog, a camera, a few programs and a menagerie.
