Makes Charlie see art fancifully (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

creates

'makes' is the definition.
(creating is a kind of making)

'charlie see art fancifully' is the wordplay.
'charlie' becomes 'c' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.**).
'fancifully' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'see'+'art'='seeart'
'seeart' with letters rearranged gives 'reates'.
'c'+'reates'='CREATES'

(Other definitions for creates that I've seen before include "Brings into existence" , "Generates" , "coins" , "Produces" , "Makes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
