So we just found out that my wife Shelly is pregnant. It was on April fools day, so that was fun to let our families know.
I am so excited! Yesterday I made our child's first gift. I will probably give it to him/her when they are out of highschool or something like that. I'll be able to say that I made it for them the day after I found out we were going to have them.
It was fun to make it. I used it as a chance to really meditate on what it will be like to be a father and how much of a gift it is. So I put a lot of good energy into this piece.

There are a few things wrong with it that I decided not to fix. For one, everyone has a few problems, it adds character. And another reason is that when I was getting towards the end, two racoons started fighting (or making crazy rough love) above my shop in a storage loft. I ran out and dealt with them. Now it will become part of the story that goes along with the glass.

So I hope you like it. I've never done a Goddess style before, but I think it turned out alright. So cheers to all of the great parents out there raising great kids. I can't wait to experience the magic of discovering what this world is all about again.

Nicely done, I like the earthy tone, earthy shape, earthy everything.

Congratulations to you both!

Are you planning a goblets for the raccoons, haha, they should have kits in a few months...

That is truly a beautiful one of a kind piece! I love the story behind it, and don't see the need to 'fix' anything. That is the beauty of glass, and art in general, those unpredictable moments during the creation process are what make it so unique! Congratulations on many different levels, JDeMoss!
