I had forgotten that the fundraiser stamps I had made for Bernie Berlin's A Place to Bark and Meow would be in this issue of Crafts 'n things. I was in Michael's today to kill some time before a training meeting at Scrapbook Island (getting ready for the big flea market sale on Saturday) checking out all the magazines and books. I happened to picked up this magazine and as I flipped through it, I saw a photo I took of the stamps. I had used some really bright background paper so it caught my eye right away. I hope this latest PR will help spur on the sale of the stamps Claudine, Lydia and Suzi designed.
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
