@rav3n I'm totally up for a craft club. I need inspiration sometimes. I just bought a beginner resin kit. I'm keen to try it out (but also scared lol)
@Former-Member will random convo help, or something more directed to what's going on. Sometimes just random dribble convos help my adhd, autist brain to regulate better. Pick a topic or make a new thread and I'll happily join in.

@rav3n i made my week super chill, and it's helped. I had a bad week the last few weeks and needed to reset. I took some space and have been trying to ground myself. I went to a library craft group this morning and a few people remembered me from ages ago, and it felt good.

@The-red-centaur I'm always up for a random conversation to try to distract myself. Any ideas on what we could chat about?

I have done a little bit with resin kits. I was nervous the first time. It’s actually not that hard. Make sure all your measurements are spot on and that you stir it for a few minutes to mix it and get rid of the bubbles. Is it a clear kit or coloured?

@Captain24 i actually don't know. I haven't opened it yet. I got it on sale at a book shop and was like that sounds fun.

It is fun @The-red-centaur. I quite enjoyed it. My first one was clear so it was easy my second I tried colours and it didn’t turn out how I wanted but I know to do it differently next time. I’ve got a lot of coasters between resin and mosaic. I don’t even use them!
