@alchemystones, Geo Painting Beautiful Stones!
@alchemystones recently caught my eye as I have been curating art on the #neoxian tag, where of course I found him. While I am trying to find undervalued NFT artists and digital graphics designers, art is art. What @alchemystones is doing is incredible and brings immense value to the art community on Hive! Alchemy Stones takes the fun traditional hobby of rock painting to new levels with such focus and intentional love with meditative intentions that encourages community building while expressing love for their craft on Hive! While, trying to find out more about this person and their work I discovered their old introduceyourself post from before the Hive fork:

@alchemystones recently became an admin for the Hive Rocks Community on Hive! While joining forces with the Hive Rocks community founder @yangyanje, @alchemystones aims to help @yangyanje "...spread awareness of the Hive name — quite literally — all around the world!"

While I want to ramble on and on about the various posts and amazing works @alchemystones has done and continues to do, I have been trying to keep these posts recognizing artists like Alchemy Stones short and to the point. Before I highlight some really cool posts from @alchemystones, I want to bring attention to a new emerging way to tokenize and sell real life art creations like these beautiful stone creations into NFTs! Looking through Alchemy Stones' posts, I saw a post about expanding their presence hesitantly onto the Amazon platform and I wanted to provide a possible solution to perhaps avoiding the use of Amazon.

This possible solution however is on the Binance Blockchain and it is called Defi For You
About DeFi For You
What is DeFi For You?
DeFi For You is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency lending platform where users can act as borrowers or lenders.
Users on the platform can upload collateral or loan packages, including cryptocurrency, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and physical assets that are valued and stored by DeFi For You’s pawnbroker partners and represented on the platform in the form of NFTs.
Alchemy Stones lives in America and the use of Binance is no longer feasible from what I can tell. https://coingeek.com/binance-will-lock-united-states-users-accounts-in-14-days/.
In the crypto world there are many work arounds to problems such as regulations like Layer 2 side chain solutions. Even if a Layer 2 smart contracted solution or work around for using Binance does not currently exist, this solution I am trying to bring awareness for The Hive Rocks Community might be feasible for the international community members of Hive Rocks that @alchemystones is an admin for with @nathanmars, @brittandjosie, @phoenixwren and @jurich60.
Please join me as I highlight some incredible posts from Alchemy Stones that showcase their love and work with Stones/Rocks! Do try and visit these posts and show some support for the incredible work they are doing on Hive and in real life!

Art and Creativity: Meanwhile It's the Holidays... Social Media Marketing for Artists
In this post @alchemystones shares their experiences with social media marketing, what they think are mistakes they made and solutions to them. Helping others learn from past experiences is vital in building community and helping them achieve success in this new normal world, where a online presence is more important than in person events like most people in the Geo Rock Art world are accustomed to.
