With all kidding aside, this article discusses why you should have a goal of getting 100 rejections with your work. It argues why quantity over quality is better. Although the frame of reference is on writing, it is easily applied to any medium. Take a look and see what you think... If it changes the way you approach your doll making or whatever endeavor you're on.
When our work is rejected, yes, it hurts. We're crushed! Devestated! Completely demolished and destroyed! How can it be?! We pour so much of ourselves into it. But, y'know something? More often than not, the ones doing the rejecting aren't even the ones doing what we're doing, so, what do they really know? On the flip side, for the other times, when they actually DO have experience and insight, it helps us get better at what we're doing ourselves. Even if you don't get feedback or have the benefit of getting rejected, keep making as many as you can. You'll keep improving. There is a benefit to it.
