And just like that… a chapter comes to a close

These past two weeks went by so quickly.

I just want to say thank you—truly—for showing up the way you did.
For your orders, your kind emails, your encouragement… it all meant so much to me.
This community has always been something special.

Shades of Clay, as a shop, has now come to a close.

But this isn’t goodbye. I’m not going anywhere.

For now, I’m spending my time in the studio working on a new line of jewelry—lightweight wood pieces, hand-painted, bold, and a little unexpected.No polymer… at least for the moment.

That said, I’ve been working with polymer since around 2008, and I can’t imagine it not finding its way back in at some point.
And of course, there are my CaBezels—those aren’t going anywhere either. They’ve been such an important part of what I’ve built, and I still love what they make possible.

If you’d like to see what I’ve been working on lately, you can take a look here at my work.
This isn’t the end. Just a shift.

See you soon,
Wendy
