Where it all began

Hey!

So this is my first ever blog post so bare with me. I am excited to start this journey with you all.

So why am I creating and selling items out of resin?

I have always enjoyed crafting, I find it calming and relaxing and just generally joyful. But as I got older life got in the way of that. There was always more important things to do. I had to go to work, maintain a home, a social life, a budget the list goes on. As time went on I wanted to find a way to be crafty again but for it also not to be a drain on me financially. So I did my research I watched YouTube videos I joined craft groups on facebook and discovered the joy that is Resin.

So I did it I bit the bullet I ordered some silicone moulds (far more than I meant to due to not reading the small print), some resin after researching the best ones, dried flowers, alcohol inks and some fillers and off I went. I converted the spare room into a design studio so I had a space to create. It took about a month for everything to arrive. I got started as soon as it arrived. I learned a LOT! It really is one of these things you can only learn through doing and I feel as though every day I learn a little bit more. This is what spurred me on to start the blog. I thought I should really write about this, but I will wait until I am really good. Then I thought but how am I going to remember every part of this journey? How I felt at each stage? How it’s helping or hindering my anxiety and what I’m doing to combat that. So here we are I am currently at the stage where I have some stock that is worthy of selling (that took a while) and I am learning about algorithms for Instagram, Etsy, Facebook etc to help build a following. Nothing is up for sale yet. I will post when it is and tell you about individual products etc. But I hope that this will help inspire you to start your journey too.
