Miscellaneous

I know it’s been quiet here, mostly because I’ve been focus­ing a lot of my spare-time atten­tion on the merger of my Art of the Fire­bird busi­ness with Andrea’s Four Tails Lam­p­work. After almost three years of doing shows together and man­ag­ing money together with­out killing each other, or even a major snit, we decided that we might as well do an offi­cial busi­ness merger. A merger deserved a new name, so we decided after much debate on Cop­per Dancer Designs.

We’ve incor­po­rated as an LLC, set up a web­site and a joint shop at Hand­made Artists Shop, and are just wait­ing on that darn GA tax id to fin­ish up the paper­work. We’ve also done three shows under the CDD name: ART­lantis 2010, Avon­dale Art-B-Que, and the June Down the Street Bead Show. We’re work­ing on a bunch of appli­ca­tions for fall shows, so if you want to stay up to date on that, you’ll need to go over to our new web­site and sign up for our mail­ing list, or just keep check­ing the event cal­en­dar there.

Art of the Fire­bird is not going away, but I’ll keep most of the business-related stuff over at Cop­per Dancer Designs. That will let me post more per­sonal things here, like my bel­ly­dance adven­tures, per­sonal mus­ings and rant­i­ngs, and so on.
