p.s. sorry for the delay on the giveaway… just spent a lot of time trying to make it perfect for y’all :’)

i have cried an insurmountable amount of tears over clarthouse. the burnout. the exhaustion. the confusion. the anxiety. not knowing what to do or where to take it… but the peace that overwhelmed me when i made the decision to close down clarthouse was just as intense.

i do not know where to even begin with thanking all of you this last few weeks. the support— from my decision to pivot, to my final collection itself… it’s been unbelievable. this week has been so emotional. the kind words, the DMs, the orders, everything. people that i haven’t talked to in years, people that ive never met in real life, people that ive never spoken to at all… i continue to be floored by your graciousness and love for my work. thank you thank you thank you.

i love you all very much, and i will be releasing my giveaway soon. finalizing a few details & it’ll be out tonight or tomorrow afternoon.

thank you again for the support, and I’ll be working to ship out the first batch of orders today/tomorrow!

i can’t believe my shop closes forever in less than 9 days.
thank you for helping me end strong.

i know this is so so late, but i last minute decided to create & restock the very first items I’d ever created with clarthouse & the items that made me fall in love with resin as a medium in the first place

there are a few other items that I’ve added as 1 of 1’s, but i appreciate all the patience as i scramble thru life & trying to balance both my day job and my art🥺

all items are in the tab labeled “final restock” & it’s free shipping for everyone who’s already previously purchased!

ok i just spent 2 hours writing out a caption for every photo, so imma say that y’all probs don’t want to read MORE of my ramblings here HAHAHA —
but i am a classic yapper so i am gonna do some quick thank yous… it’s been a little over 24 hours since ive dropped my collection… and the support has been unimaginable. i have been completely awestruck the entire day & have been simultaneously working through orders, messaging people back, and drinking so. much. coffee. i don’t even know how to properly say thank you, because “thank you so much” doesn’t even cover the amount of emotion and joy im filled with. you all have made me feel so much peace, so much love, and so much encouragement. i cannot wait to package all your orders with so much love. you best believe its going to be the BEST packaging with plenty of extras (i am ignoring my “tiered” gifting idea from the other day & am just gonna follow my heart LOL)❣️
i love you all so much, and thank you for making a lil artist’s dream come true🥺

HI SOZ I AM SO LATE😭 blind bag info tho & more on clarthouse.com (shop is live now!)

thank yall for always supporting & dm me if you have any questions❣️

drop 05: “to begin at the end”

inspired by the final lesson i learned with clarthouse:
there is no “right” timeline— just your own.

this piece marks the 1,589 days that clarthouse will have existed— from jan 2021 (1:21) to may 2025 (5:25). those two time stamps live on each side of the pendant: the beginning and the end. the moment i started something that terrified me, and the moment i chose to end it— just as scary but full of peace.

it’s a quiet reminder that even endings have meaning, and that there is no “right” pace or path. just your own. you’re not late, you’re not behind, your timing is yours.

this piece is also a nod to clarthouse’s highest moment. the background of the clock hands is a sakura flower, one of the most meaningful symbols in my clarthouse journey. sakura represents rebirth, renewal, and the fleeting nature of time. it also honors one of my favorite memories: my sakura collection. it was the most fulfilling and successful drop i ever had, and it reminded me of why i started in the first place— to create work i loved, and to share something real. so it only felt right to return to it as the final motif.

so in many ways, this piece is everything to me:
the beginning, the middle, and the end.

maybe that’s why it’s my favorite in the whole collection.
or at least tied with “pouring from an empty cup”— because if that piece was the moment i broke, this is the moment i looked back and thought like ??? i can’t believe i did it???😭

so now that i’ve shared all 5 lessons with you, i hope these pieces offer you the same clarity, warmth, and healing they gave me.

thank you for being here.
thank you for watching clarthouse unfold.
and thank you for helping me begin again.

p.s. for those who want something a little more personal— whether it’s a gift for an anniversary, a date you’ll never forget, or your own beginning and end— i’m offering a small number of custom versions too (your own dates, your own flower).

add. details:
material - stainless steel
pendant size - 21x14mm (0.83”x0.55”)

drop 04: “pouring from an empty cup”

inspired by the fourth lesson i learned with clarthouse:
what i feared was the end, was actually the beginning.

i’ve learned that what you want often lives on the other side of your fears— and sometimes, the moment you think you’ve reached your limit is the exact moment you meet your real self.

burning out truly broke me, but it also cracked something open. and on the other side, i found clarity.

it’s funny though. i made this piece a year ago and never shared it. i was too scared of what people might think. it felt… depressing? especially since the reference photo i used was my actual bedroom. i was literally living in a constant state of mess and anxiety, and i trapped myself there for years thinking it was just what i had to do.

this piece was made at the very first of many breaking points. i remember taking a photo of my room and just staring at it like, how did it get this bad???😩
i had been treading between a very thin open space of clothes, art supplies, and literally everything else, just to get from my door to my bed. i felt helpless. and exhausted. so i drew. idk why really— but i did. and somehow, i made one of the most detailed & most vulnerable pieces i’d done in a long time.

i was physically and emotionally spent— and still, i was trying to make something of it. trying to create while completely disconnected from myself.

i kept giving and giving, hoping to keep clarthouse alive. but eventually, i realized: i had nothing left to give. i was giving past myself.

this is the most honest piece in my collection. and the most painful. it’s not really pretty? it just is what it is hahaha. just a moment where i was like yeah, i don’t know if i can do this anymore?

this is for anyone who’s ever pushed themselves too far. for whoever kept pouring even when their cup was empty.

my final lesson drops tomorrow.

thanks for reading through what felt like my lowest point with clarthouse. i wasn’t sure if I’d ever share this piece, but it’s honestly one of my favorite drawings I’ve ever done. it feels so.. me. and i guess that’s the scariest part about it.

drop 03: “heart on my sleeve”
~available as a necklace and a bracelet~

and inspired by the third lesson i learned with clarthouse:
to be open. be raw. be real.

this piece represents vulnerability— letting people in, even when it feels scary😳
a clam opens when it feels safe, to a pearl— something rare and formed slowly under pressure.
this piece is a reminder that being vulnerable is not a weakness— it’s a sign of strength. that despite all the pain the world may throw at you, you still choose to be open, to be gentle. and i think that, is one of the bravest things a person can do.

for a large part of my life— and a large part of clarthouse— i tried hiding the things about myself that weren’t picture-perfect. i was obsessed with making everything look polished, curated, right. but more often than not, things were messy behind the scenes. chaotic. confusing. i was always trying to make things look perfect, even when i didn’t feel that way at all.

eventually i realized: no one cares as much as you think they do. everyone’s too busy worrying about themselves. and if they are judging you? that probably says more about them than it does about you.

so for me, this piece represents my choice to be earnest. to be open. to be vulnerable. even if it means getting hurt sometimes, i think it’ll always be more fulfilling than pretending to be someone I’m not. because the only person who loses when you hide your true self is you.

i always thought i’d share my “true self” once i “made it,” but i’ve realized… the journey is part of who i am. not the filtered or performative version, but the messy, real, behind-the-scenes one.

so if you’ve gotten this far, thanks for reading thru my messy ramblings, and here’s to choosing openness, to choosing vulnerability. to showing up with your heart on your sleeve.

lesson #04 drops tomorrow.

thank you for letting me be seen— and feel seen. the last few days have been so meaningful to me. the support, the love, everything. ive never felt so much joy and peace in my work, and i appreciate you all so much.

drop 02: “a heavy heart”

inspired by the second lesson i learned with clarthouse: relationships are everything. people are everything.

every time i felt discouraged, every time i felt low, you were all the reason i got back up again, the reason i kept going.
even in the last few days, your support has meant everything to me— and through the last five years, i’ve realized that’s what i loved most about clarthouse.
it was so hard to let go of this lil business, because seeing others find joy in my work filled me with joy too.

this is one of my favorite pieces— emotionally, visually, tactically.
i love how it feels in my hand. i love how it turned out.
but more than that, i love what it represents to me.

i titled this piece “a heavy heart” because that’s exactly how my heart has felt in the last few years. when my own heart felt heavy— when it felt too full of doubt, exhaustion, or pressure— your hearts filled mine with encouragement, support, and love. and slowly, the weight shifted— from feeling heavy, to feeling full.

this piece comes in two colorways:
yin (silver + blue pearl): to represent the love and support i felt from you all
yang (black + white pearl): to represent the resilience i found every time i felt knocked down

lesson #03 drops tomorrow~

drop 01: “don’t move”

inspired by the first lesson i learned with clarthouse:
don’t get stuck in a loop. rest is movement too.

I painted this piece during a time I felt stuck in clarthouse. I felt paralyzed. I felt like I was drowning. I remember nights of forcing my body to its absolute limits preparing for drops, collections, pop ups, doing everything I could to stay afloat. I remember telling myself I’d rest when the collection is done, when orders are out, when the pop up is over. That I couldn’t waste time sleeping or eating now, that I had work to do.

I told myself that if I rested even for 30 minutes, I would lose the very small window of time I needed to check in on my work, make sure things were good. Resin is a very finicky medium, and it’s not a forgiving one. You need to work fast, work carefully, work safely, work slowly, work on everything all at once, not too slow, not too fast, not too careful, just a bit creative but also stay in the lines.

I was exhausted, and this was a piece I created when I would get stuck in those loops. I remember I’d even stop breathing on accident sometimes, and I’d feel like I was tightening every muscle in my body just to stay afloat. But I’d have to be careful because there was always something watching, which was the shark in this painting.

Honestly, it’s weird because I saw myself as the girl and the shark at the same time when I first painted this. I remember feeling like I could see a light at the end each time, but it was faint, and I was never really sure if I’d make it each time, but I’d push and push and push.

Eventually, aging and burnout bites you in the butt, and I was forced to realize that my body needs to be prioritized first and foremost. It’s a lesson I’m still learning to this day, but it’s the first lesson I learned with clarthouse.

lesson #02 drops tomorrow.

thanks for reading :’)
