I finally finished this piece, and I’m really proud of it — not because of the craftsmanship. Honestly, the craftsmanship is pretty rough. Some pieces aren’t perfectly placed, the foil came off in a few areas, and the soldering isn’t my best work. I wouldn’t sell this piece and call myself a professional. That would be embarrassing.
But this is my redemption piece, and that’s why I’m proud of it.
I started this piece at the beginning of my pregnancy, almost two years ago. It’s been sitting on my workbench all this time, just staring at me. For a long while, finishing it felt like a chore — another thing on my to-do list that I didn’t have the energy for.
But today I finally had the time and the motivation to solder it together.
So yes, this piece is special to me — not because of how imperfect it is, but because I finally got it done. And while I was working on it, I felt completely at peace.
Stained glass has always been a kind of therapy for me, and I didn’t realize how much I missed it until today. Plus who doesn’t need some Halloween vibes in this hot weather 🎃👻💀
