Current T has asked to see my wood-work stuff a couple of times -- latest was right before I did some very basic pyrography last weekend.
I am a tad pleased with the results of that (instructor showed it around etc) although I can point to all the many flaws in it.
Am considering taking it along to session (it's a rather small piece) but not sure if current T's no-doubt super enthusiastic (I can't believe they're totally authentic) responses will make me....I dunno....more rageful or something.
I'm screwed up, I know.

If my experiences with showing them my writing are any tell, yes, they will be super-enthusiastic, and no, it won’t feel sincere. I explained this to CW once as “it’s like your parents oohing and aahing over your three-year-old drawings and putting them on the fridge.” Even though three-year-olds—me, anyway—know the response is disproportionate to the quality of the work.
Perhaps you could use it as practice in dealing non-ragefully with possible insincerity? (Pro tip: I just stare blankly at them when they compliment me.)
