Today’s hobby has wide range of uses across various fields. Not only is it used in jewellery making and furniture industries, but also in Dentistry! Yes, that’s right!
Today’s hobby idea with R is Resin Craft!

Resin Crafting is the process of pouring synthetic liquid resin into moulds and letting it harden. The surface is then finished off with a varnish.
Resin crafting has uses in making prototypes in industrial settings as well as in dentistry. Composite Resin is used in the place of decayed tooth or portion. Even base of dentures is made with resin.
Thankfully, resin is mostly used by hobbyists and artists for other purposes like, resin jewellery.

If you want to preserve some article or items with sentimental value, resin craft is the way to go. Some people make jewellery to preserve the flowers that have been used on their wedding day, as a souvenir of their memories.

Bookworms like me would rather prefer resin bookmarks, more than anything. Don’t they look beautiful?

If you have two naughty kids like I do, you will surely have loads of colour pencils lying around the house! So why not use them to make a fruit bowl?

Is the cell phone your life companion? Not after you see the beautiful resin chess board, which encourages us to stay away from online chess games and concentrate on the physical one. Take a look. This particular chess set can also be used as a table lamp too!

P.S:
- The new fad of making resin based table tops is the best one. Thanks to all the youtube videos, we now know how they are done. Although resin crafting is fun, protective goggles, appropriate clothing and respirator are necessary for ones safety. If you don’t want to use a respirator, well ventilated places are best to resin craft.
- Mr.Bee bought me dry flower resin bangles from etsy.com some years ago. I really love them.
- The other hobbies starting with R are Reading, Racing, Roller Skating, Riding Horses and Rafting.
- I tried my hand at rafting at White Water Rafting, Charlotte. I nearly poked a fellow rafter with my paddle! That was scary, for her!
- I dream of reading, on and on, with a never ending supply of wonderful snacks to make my life blissful. Let’s see!
Till the next hobby post, Sayonara!
