Hi Lloyd,
 
Thanks for your wonderful letter and your kind comments.
 
Yes, I have to update my site very soon. I have many inquiries on the confusions on my site.
It is a matter of finding free time to do it.
 
The Spin girl is totally free.
 
All animations that don't have a price tag on my site are free.
I am slowly converting them to Swish files one by one and sending them to Swishzone's movies gallery.
The ones on my site are not Swish files, but Flash files.

Oh! I love the way you used Lucy.
She fits like a glove in all that red. :)
 
I like all your site. You are a good designer yourself Lloyd.
 
This is quite good: http://www.inette.com/swish/swish3.html
 
No permission needed Lloyd, use Lucy as you wish. (don't be too rough on her though) :)
 
Best regards,

Bonjour Messieur/Madame:
 
I recently received the 1st issue of Swish Zone Update Newsletter and was reading through it and followed a link to Swish Movies - Navigation category at:
 
http://www.swishzone.com//movies.php?do=page&cat_id=8
 
I discovered your SpinGirl and was totally amazed and what you had created!  This is simply put...outstanding artistic work.
 
They provided a bit of information about you...the creator (except your name) and provided the download files too.  I downloaded the files, opened them, and immediately began to modify "Lucy" for my site... www.inette.com
 
I have created some of my own Swish pages but nothing as awesome as what you have created with your SpinGirl Swish.
 
I am e-mailing you for two reasons.
 
1.  To congratulate you on your outstanding artistic abilities and Swish talents and
2.  To ask permission to use "Lucy" on my website.  My website is a non-commercial portal website focusing on learning. 
 
I can't tell you how impressed I am with our creative talents.  This is simply...outstanding work and I hope that once you grant me permission to use her on my website...all of my visitors will be equally impressed with your talents and work and will visit your website and perhaps see something that they want to use or buy.
 
Speaking of buying stuff on your website, I have a few observations if you don't mind?
 
1.  I visited your website at http://pages.infinit.net/geebee after viewing and downloading the SpinGirl from Swishzone, with the intention of making sure that it was ok for me to use "her" on my website.
2.  I also visited your website to see what other "work" you had on display and found lots of very impressive and artistically creative work.
3.  I was a bit confused when I found SpinGirl on your website but was unable to determine if she was for sale, if so...how much, and if she was, how I could buy her, or if she was/is free to use.
4.  I searched your site completely, read all of your "help" questions, and never did find the answer.  I did find a place where I could buy flags, a globe, and Gigi...but that was all.  Maybe your website is under development?
 
In summary then...I think "Lucy" is an extraordinary work of art, would like your permission to use her on my website, and found it difficult to determine what stuff is "free" to use and what stuff is for sale and if for sale...how to buy stuff.
 
I would really appreciate hearing from you...when you have time.
 
Oh...one more thing....your website is really well done...outside of the difficulty of finding your "store"
 
If you want to see exactly how I intend to use "Lucy" on my website, please click on this link - http://www.inette.com/index_swish.html  I have it as a test site right now, pending your permission to use her.
 
Best regards and merci beaucoup!  (some of my ancestors were from Paris!!!)
