“In 2024, I thought a lot about what I could do and what interests me. Seeing resin products online, I was impressed and quickly learned this new craft through online lessons. I order all the necessary materials from Bishkek.
Reviews of my work vary — both positive and critical. Nevertheless, both positive and negative opinions encourage me to grow and seek new approaches. Without overcoming difficulties, nothing is easily achieved. After every difficulty, success and satisfaction always follow. In the beginning, when things didn't go well, I even cried. But gradually I got the hang of it, started to fantasize, and added my ideas, creating beautiful products. Now I have many clients, and my work has become stable,” she shared.
Anarbay kyzy makes a variety of products: boxes, dishes, decorative baskets, small chests, clocks, and various home decorations.
“The prices for my products range from 100 soms to 10,000 soms. This hobby not only brings me joy but has also become a good support for my family. When I work, the children behave quietly and do not distract me,” she added.
