...I really hope this helps...
My natural father does not always "get it" either. I know how that hurts! Here is what helps me...I turn over those hurts to my "other" Father...the BIG daddy. He saves our every tear. It helps me.
He did see all the thought and love you put into your beautiful work. He has no fear of expressing His love lavishly! He even goes so far as to dance over you in delight. Remember HE IS rejoicing over your creation...He really, really loves creative efforts - kinda His specialty! LOL!
