Dear nickgoodenough,

a couple of questions for you as the webmaster. I am Aramanthea Kupco, new to the website and just figuring out how it works. I notice everyone's name
shows up in red - Is that the username I have originally put in and have to enter when I sign in? If so how do I change mine if I want something different
to always show up in red and identify myself???

Also if I wish to introduce myself to other members on the site, where is the best place to do that? In General Discussion?

I plan to add my website for my artwork but wanted to get these questions answered first.

Thank you.

Hi, my name is David. I heard about WAV just recently and it sounds very cool! I have a small cabinet/furniture shop and practice different kinds of art such as sculpture, guitar and some poetry with my free time. Would love to get involved with the art community and meet new people.

Hi Nick,

Thanks for the advice, I'm finding lots of neat stuff on this website. Am looking forward to the january meeting.
David

Sandi 61,
The "Changing the World One Thread at a Time" is a free download. It was sponsored in part by the Arizona Arts Commission and the Tucson Pima Arts Council. We gave away more than 8000 copies of that catalog. Feel free to help yourself to a download. One of my goals is to introduce the arts world to the power of textiles to convey societal messages. One gets pulled in by the beauty to be, then, enticed by serious questioning.

The European Edition of Changing the World was shown in Alsace, France in September 2006. The download can be purchased through paypal; the link is there. This catalog is an attenuated version of the original exhibition with a selection of invitationals. It's intent was to show the European Union that what they see on television and CNN is not the only America. We are individuals with individual voices. We have minds to think. It caused quite a stir.

I still haven't translated the eight pages in four color from Spain. I have enough border spanish to know they called me the other heart of North America. <G> If enough people are interested I might make a free download of that article available, especially if someone would be kind enough to translate the European Spanish for me.

There is another book remainder company. I've lost the name. They mail a huge newsprint catalog. Google and see who sells "book remainders."

Thanks for the "Google" book remainders info. I was able to purchase the first four books to complete my series for only $30 total! plus a very reasonable flat rate shipping fee, even though each book is coming from a different book dealer throughout the US.
