big pear

it's done. and in my shop.

 and i'm a little bit heart-broken.

i imagine this is what it'll feel like when my child grows up and goes off to college.
my rare, one-of-a-kind, irreplaceable child. off to spread it's joy elsewhere.

so bold. so strong. so lively. so perfect.

i'm sure someone will love it as much as i do.

and that's a very good thing.
