Hey everyone!
My name is Hailey and my pronouns are she/her. It was so lovely meeting you on our first class last Tuesday. I look forward to getting to know you all much better as the semester goes on.
I was born and partially raised in the Lower East Side, and was also partially raised in Puerto Rico, which is where I currently find myself with my grandparents and my little brother. Since arriving here I have noticed that time away from the city to decompress and recenter with everything that has been going on within the last year was much needed. I find myself laughing more and overthinking less. It has been such a great change of pace.
Speaking of what has happened in the past year, since the pandemic started and we have all been confined to the indoor world, I have picked up a new quarantine hobby- resin crafts! I find that using creative outlets has helped me deal with processing everything that’s going on, and being able to sell some of my crafts to my friends has encouraged me to continue using this method; as it makes me happy to make something with my hands and it makes me a little bit of money as well. Has anyone else picked up a cool new hobby/craft since the pandemic?
Please show us some of your resin work! I picked up candle-making and have started knitting again.
I’ve never heard of resin crafts! Please share more (and photos are welcome).
