I’ve looked at making stickers a few times (even to the point of getting a cutting machine) …. And I come back to going with an online business, unless it’s for a very small amount just for my personal use. It’s not worth my time to get the quality and quantity an online place can do while I do other things. Good luck - would love to see what you create. 👍

nostr:npub1jrx2fk666k5nt8vgak9xwyxlgcwh8fl9rvpwvvcpdthuqkcnptrqdfhtaq introduced me to this band 😁 I have a dragon-themed playlist with a lot of their songs in it …

🎉🐲💜

It depends how involved you want to get. Absolute minimum would be a printer, a computer/pad to design the stickers, sticker paper, and scissors to cut out the stickers.

If you want the stickers to look good outside for more than a few days, you should laminate the stickers (add a clear protective layer). This can be done by hand or with a machine.

If you don’t want to deal with making the stickers, there are (in the US) a lot of online companies that you can send your design to, and they will print the stickers and mail them back to you. Price will be determined by size, kind (regular, vinyl, color, etc), and how many you order - the more you order, the less each sticker costs.

Search for “custom stickers” to get started.

Two Steps From Hell creates (mostly) instrumental songs that are often used in movie/TV trailers and commercials.

I like to crank them up very loud when I have a headache 🤕 and still need to Get Stuff Done. 🧑‍💻🧑‍🎨

Welcome - so great to see another artist here! If you have questions, about anything, you can use the hashtag #asknostr and someone will answer you.

Yes, zaps are like tips, but the “currency” is called sats, and they are tiny amounts of bitcoin, the way pennies are tiny amounts of a dollar.

I use the wallet that comes with Primal, which is another Nostr app, and other folks have made other wallet suggestions.

As mentioned, Nostr is a protocol which means you can use all of these different Nostr apps, made by different people, and it’s still your single account, unlike Facebook was only FB and what you posted on X wasn’t part of your Instagram account. I love this part because it was such a pain to maintain multiple accounts to share my art and writing.

You do want to make sure you keep track of your nsec - that’s like your password but it cannot be “reset” - if you loose it, you can’t get it back/get access to your account again. It’s easy to start a new account, though, because there isn’t anyone who can stop you. 👍

This note is worthy of a 74 sat zap. ⚡️

First week of exercises from my fitness trainer done! So sore, every day, but slowly getting better. I can hold the tree pose now. Marching band is still too much, but I can ow do the first minute without stopping (first day I could barely march for 20 seconds 😅).

I’d start by asking them what they get out of using X or Bluesky. Then, if Nostr can provide those things for them, talk to them/show them how and the positive differences there are to using a decentralized social media.

Make it a conversation where you listen to them compared to wanting to convince them to change their behavior, which is what you are really trying to get them to do, and most folks aren’t that open to doing.

I don’t think people come and stay in Nostr because someone says something to them. Due to things that make Nostr Nostr, an individual has to put in more work than any other social media, so they have to want to accomplish something here/have a reason to use this amazing, early, rough but lovable space.

7 of 24 - GM to the Greenwich Mean Time of London!

This is a finger painting I created using acrylic paint and a metallic Sharpie marker for the text.

The "GM" text is from the PDF available to my Creatr subscribers (one-time payment of 1,000 sats), who also get access to process photos of all of the GM art I'm making this month for the @nostrartsrt art challenge of A Month of Good Mornings: https://creatr.nostr.wine/profile/npub1jdtdqz9tyf4tdvy2k0rnjqz5dv5rd3yvw5nlpefn9syjqx37dhyqxwh0c8

I couldn’t Like that kind of weather report so I sent you a warm zap instead. 🫂

We’re having a cold week with those kinds of highs and low 20s for night. 😨

Welcome - love to see another artist here. 🎨

When you share your art, or any note, try using appropriate hashtags to help others find you. #art and #artstr are good general ones. You can even make up a hashtag for just your art - I use #rustypuppyart so someone can use that if they want to see all of my art on Nostr.

If you like it here and post a lot of notes, you can create a website from your notes using your Nostr account at https://npub.pro - my personal site is https://rustypuppy.npub.pro and I run monthly art challenges as nostr:npub1wdpfy4xgam85u9wxpuau24qrddpwqk53gexvnnnmguyqqtvspjeqvc0p5m (https://www.nostrartstr.com - also an npub.pro site but with a dedicated domain).
