Hello everybody, i am a new member, long time lurker of this great forum.
I started crypto only 3 months ago, so i am really a newbie. But i really love it,
and keep on learning everyday.
So to introduce myself, im Hankcryptotank, im 33 and im dutch but i live in Belgium.
What i do in the daily life, is working as a chef, and since 4 years i got sidetracked
as working as a goldsmith.
I think this marketplace would be excellent to promote myself a bit, and to combine these two passions.
I have a workshop at home and do not have a place to sell my products, other then on
facebook and to friends and colleagues.
So about my jewelry: i work with an old japanese technique, which was used to decorate certain
parts of the samurai swords. It was invented in the 17th century, and is called Mokume Gane.
It translates roughly to ´woodgrain metal´, because the results often resemble a woodlike structure
brought in the metal. It basically comes down to different metals fused together in a special process, and
after that, layers are taken off to expose the second metal coming through the first metal.
I work with a lot of different combinations of metal, for cheaper jewelry i use copper and silver for instance, but
wedding bands i use silver and different colour golds, which i alloy all by myself to get the right colours that i want
to use.
Its a very time and energy consuming technique, but i love it very much!
So, as a starter on this forum i understand, trust is a huge issue. I will post a free give-away to one
of the members of the forum, im still planning out the details :-). In the meantime
i will post pictures of my old and new works in this thread. Everything i post here, is for sale.
Oh, and by the way I do work on commission so if you have any ideas,
however crazy they may be, just shoot me a message. I would love to make some Bitcoin related jewelry
.
Also if you have any questions regarding prices, just shoot.
Greets, Hank
