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 <a
href="http://copperdancerdesigns.com">Copper Dancer Designs</a>.</p><p>We’ve incorporated as an LLC, set up a website and a joint shop at <a
href="http://http://handmadeartistsshop.com/artofthefirebird.html" class="broken_link">Handmade Artists Shop</a>, 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: <a
href="http://copperdancerdesigns.com/2010/06/06/artlantis-2010/">ARTlantis 2010</a>, <a
href="http://copperdancerdesigns.com/2010/06/21/avondale-art-b-que/">Avondale Art-B-Que</a>, 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 <a
href="http://copperdancerdesigns.com/">sign up for our mailing list</a>, or just keep checking the <a
href="http://copperdancerdesigns.com/upcoming-events/">event calendar</a> there.</p><p>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.</p><p><a
