[Clayart] Snail’s website Clayart Digest, Vol 88, Issue 19

[Village Lady]

Hi Snail, 

Some feedback about your site:

It is easy on the eyes, rather than the frenetic look many choose for theirs   Ie. everey rlement supports your work instead of competing with it for attention.  Those include the layout, type font, soft taupe in the linkboxes, sizes and placements of photos, and the small but exquisite detail of the thin black line around the photos.  I am glad Vince mentioned the full justification because there was something about the text that seemed a bit jarring but I could not pinpoint it;  I think he did.  

Your work is very interesting. The choices you made for your website frame it nicely.
