  reading this reminded me of the disappointments I have seen on the faces of evening class pottery students when finally getting their 1 precious pot, only to find the kiln has somehow mangled it! From the potter's point of view, I know that they needed to have made lots of pots to increase their chances of getting 1 out that was good.
  As artists, it isn't very often we put our work 'out there' for public scrutiny so the whole process of doing that, by definition, is going to be a nervy business. If we did that more frequently or even regularly, I wonder if it would take the sting from rejection because it just wouldn't matter!
