I'm sorry that he reacted that way. I'd be feeling similarly. Saying it was a Rorschach test isn't a very kind thing to say when getting a gift when you know there's meaning behind it. It's not like you gave him an Amazon gift card or a box of chocolates--you put time and thought and effort into it.
Might it be worthwhile to write a letter now and possibly give it to him?
