Taking a breather from fall festivities and assorted things that were occupying my mind this past week, today I'm all about the quick and easy, reverting to a "ready- made" from the art files to submit to
Illustration Friday. This is one of the comps in a series of mini framed prints I submitted for an assignment a few years back. As I recall, this one was rejected, but some of the others were developed further and eventually made it to market. Unfortunately, I never saw the completed product. This was not the first time and certainly not the last.
The rejection process sounds harsher than it actually is. If I could count all the times my efforts were not accepted for whatever reasons, I'd have huge armloads of the stuff. Oh wait, I do...And this tiny teacup
bouquet is just a sampling! ;o)
So here you go, I'm sharing a few blooms with you today. Even if we recognize a few flaws or tatters among the petals, we keep moving along, don't we? Hope your week is filled to the brim with goodness!
What pretty blooms they are too Michele....they certainly brightened a wet day here ;0) The art world sounds very ruthless, you need a pretty thick skin I guess x
ReplyDeleteGlad I could share a little sunshine with you, Jane. As for that thick skin, I just try not to notice the scars! ;o)
DeleteI've got some scars of my own and loads of rejected things too. I often like the rejected things better than what the people with money pick, so it doesn't hurt the way it used to. Just repackage things and sell them to someone else. Pretty flowers :) I hope your week is filled with goodness too!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda. We could probably write a book on this topic. Those who are in positions to reject are usually not the most qualified to make the best decisions. Just another one of life's little lessons! ;o)
DeleteHi Michele, This certainly strikes home, the rejection part for sure. It is also frustrating not to see the finished product! Hope you have been well.
