Hi everyone!   This is just a short message to let you know that I've
made the official change from this format (in Google Group) to a more
visual approach.  I'll be using an email service called Constant
Contact.  I started using it on a trial basis this summer, so some of
you may have gotten an email from that format already.  You'll still
get updates and newsletters from me as you have been, only this
time ... pictures will be included, which this service doesn't
include.

Your email address information is completely secure!  The only
difference you will notice is that the address line may be slightly
different - and you'll see pictures!    I'll send short updates just
about 1x a week, and my goal is to send a larger newsletter w/news and
links and odd/interesting art news & tidbits and sometimes a little
surprise included every couple months!

As ever, my email address is  studio_upsta...@hotmail.com

One more thing - anyone can (and I hope will!) sign up for my email
list.  That way they will be included in the promos and give aways
that I try to do about 1x a month.  So - Please invite your friends.
The sign up is found on both my blog and my website.

Hope you'll enjoy the new format!     - Helen
