Kevin: Enlighten me, please -- how do private mesages work, and where does one find them?
*Thanks!
Kevin, I use craft knives (Xacto brand) and change the blade (#11) very often. Sometimes I put a piece of tape on the back before cutting which holds delicate shapes like fingers, birds legs, strands of hair, in place. I also have some small, pointed, very sharp craft scissors. Practice is definitely the way to go on this.
Cutting: Anyone suggest good book, video, tips, whatever, to get better at cutting out delicate shapes? I don't know how some can cut out seemingly impossibly intricate shapes. Probably practice, practice, practice. Would like to know I'm not alone in this feeling.
I would suggest using private messages on the site to share addresses.
I got the message below recently from a new member in India. You will see that she has concerns about providing details of her snail mail address.
Can anyone offer her any help on this, please?
Merci!

Hi Val Herman,
Thank you for the welcome. I shall be sending you something soon! My worry of putting up my snail mail is due to privacy issues in my home country. I do not know how 'safe' it would be to have it available in a public forum. Is there any other way I can share my snail mail address with friends in here and not keep it open?
a good start would be to read:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluxus
and follow up on some names and links from there on.
Not Just Yoko Ono...... Dick Higgins, George Maciunas, and lots of more connections. Ben Vautier is also from the old fluxus starters and still acyive and also into mail-art sometimes. So lots of connections......
Can someone explain to me what fluxus is? Example I can think is Yoko Ono's cut piece where she invites audience to cut a pieces of her clothes with scissors. On basic note from I gathered from google it's a medium which allows people to interactive with the work rather than look like in galleries and museums.
It can also be Mail Art sent via email. (Although 'traditionalists' like me have as little to do with email art as possible).
I was asked what was mailart and replied with basically art sent through postal system and can be anything the openness make it more fun.
In two words Kevin, "Anything goes".
In a few more words, you can do whatever you like within this genre -- everyone else does.
Some, including me, try and exercise a certain amount of self-censorship (no porn, for example): others don't.
Anything goes;
Go, Kevin, go!
