I think I’m going to make a few resin projects for the Juneteenth Pop-Up at the Anacostia Arts Center June 19th from 1pm to 5pm. I’m making coasters, earrings, novelties and of course soy candles. Working hard and enjoying it! #AllHandcrafted #MadeInDC #TrustTheProcess #OneStepAtATime #Unique #OneOfAKind
