It is really rather funny... When Michele posted some URL's for us to
look at this week, my first reaction was "Hey, Upstart! That's our
Helen's job. Bugger off!" How protective and proprietary can one get
in this Clayart family? I suppose it comes of fighting the corner of
artists and makers all day long. "Good grief! That vase costs £60?!".
I have to sidle up to them and quietly ask if they have been to a
lawyer recently? £100 per hour minimum...

I wanted to thank you for mentioning this site. They are... surprising...
At first glance, from the thumbnails, they seem traditional, nothing
unusual...
But clicking on the thumbnails brought that "Aha!" of pleasure in seeing her
work, the "Aha!" feeling I seek.
