My apologies to my readers.

This rarely happens, but for only the second time since I began this blog almost 8 years ago, the artist whose work I had shared here with you (Aki Inomata hermit crab shells) has asked me to remove this post because I did not get copyright approval from her.

I respect her wishes but find it odd given that I discovered her work on several other sites and was simply giving her more free exposure. Her work was featured on Fast Company, the gallery that showed the work and several other design sites. I incorrectly assumed that meant that I, too, could share it with you.

Needless to say, this post has been removed and I can assure you I will not be giving her any more exposure.
