Purchase page now available for fine bowls

I just spent the last couple days implementing basic purchasing ability on this (Artforms) website. Previously, it has been 'visual' only. Because all of my work is so 'one-off', it's not really necessary or feasible to incorporate a full shopping cart just yet ... every piece has different shipping requirements etc.

Now, when you click a purchase link, you'll be taken to an email form which will start a dialogue between us and the transaction will be performed manually. The form asks for a destination country and zip code, so I can work out shipping cost estimates and transit times and return all of the relevant information in the first reply email.

I've added this feature because I'm hopefully not too far off putting up a page of functional artforms which cross the border as 'homewares'. At present, most of my fine display works are usually sold (locally) either by the time they make it to the website or shortly thereafter. I'm also planning to add a simple filtering script soon so visitors can select to display only 'available' works ... in case someone actually wants to 'buy' something.
