SHARON LEGG, ARTIST FROM THE UK - Craft Resin

I’m a qualified nail technician from Bridgwater in Somerset, I’ve been doing nails for 9 years and had a very established business but this has been taken away from me due to the pandemic. I have been unable to work due to the nature of my business and also got excluded from any government financial help due to the 50/50 rule, this led me to having to think ‘outside the box’ ...

 

I love art, would often use nail art within my trade.. I decided to try and find something that would help bring in an income to help soften the blow from the exclusion.

 

My first project with resin was memorials using ashes, a first curl... or sentimental flowers, this was a, extremely sensitive decision that I knew would give many people the closeness to their loved ones they are missing. I get a great sense of pride knowing I can help someone in this way.

 

My love of the sea has come from having a holiday home in Devon, I just love the sound and smell of the sea, during lockdown I have been unable to visit due to travel so decided to make a piece of art that reminds me of my happy place.. and there it was, a beautiful piece of art that I feel very proud of, I was told to enter it into the weekly competition on craft resin and didn’t think for one minute I had a chance of winning as there was so many beautiful pieces of art from very experienced resin artist, I had so much positive comments and likes to my Facebook page

 

Winning has not only helped me boost my confidence in my work, it will help my business grow.. I have had zero income from the government and nail business for a year now so was finding it hard to afford the resin to create my work.. so winning to me is so amazing.. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

 

I thank everyone who has supported me and to everyone who has believed my work was worthy of winning and each and every one of you that voted for me...

 

I may add that using such a beautiful resin is definitely what made my work turn out as beautiful as it did.. I researched the product first before my first purchase and haven’t used anything since... Craft Resin really is an awesome resin!
