Well hello there my lovely Resinistas. It's been a very strange year hasn't it? A very sad one for so many too. 😞
I'm not sure how many of you know how and when 13ResinsWhy came about? In May I was furloughed for 3 weeks and I thought I may as well try something I'd been meaning to for years to keep myself sane.🦠 A couple of years before I'd put a resin jewellery kit on my Amazon Wishlist. So I bought it.
I spent a few days playing and made a few pretty nice bits. 📿So I made some for my friends and family to cheer them up. And people started asking me to make things for them. So after less than 4 weeks, on the 27th May, I opened my Etsy shop. And thanks to my friend Sarah, I got a rather catchy name... And my friend Sally made me a fab logo from a gothed up pic of me.🧛♀️
Since then I've made over 300 sales on Etsy, another 80 or so commissions. 🎉I'm lucky enough to work full time too, and it's been a challenge at times, staying up well past bedtime to finish pieces. But it's all been worth it. 🍾
And it's been you guys, my lovely customers who have turned my little Lockdown sanity-saver into a little cottage industry. So for that I thank you from the bottom of my black little heart. 🖤
So 7 months in, my pretties are getting more intricate, and I'll have some lovely new pieces to show you in 2021 (please god let it be a better year for us all)... But until then, I just wanted to wish you the absolute biggest Merry Christmas 🎅, Happy Holidays🎉, Yuletide Blessings 🎄and just loads of bloody love! ❤️
