I just finished designing 8 new cards for my "Asian" theme class. This is one of the most requested class customers ask for. See my class listing for the date and times. I got the idea for this card from the latest Take Ten magazine. Someone did a card with rain boots and I thought it would be funny to make a pair of Getas (Japanese type sandals) to match my theme. The rest of the cards for the class are more traditional looking. As soon as I confirm the dates, I will post a group shot of all the cards.
Flat Fish Paper Arts was born many years ago when blogging first started. My family did a lot of camping and diving along the California coast. California halibut are huge fish that start out as any normal fish. As they age, one eye will start to move to the other side and the halibut will become flat so it can lay on the bottom of the ocean with both eyes facing up.
I always like the idea that we all start out the same but life experiences slowly changes us. In my case, my creative talents went the way of paper arts. Flatfish are always looking up when they mature and as with any artist, we see inspiration in everything around us - always looking up.

Years ago a local dive shop had a photo of a diver who caught a halibut so big he had to throw it over his jeep to take the picture. Our little spoof with our daughter sitting in her toy jeep with dad's halibut on the hood. 1987
