One of the projects we did at Creative Escape was to make a pyramid box. It wasn't a project that was easy to pack or ship home. My sample had to come home in pieces but I knew that I would take that design and make it into a witch's hat. Finding a way to keep the box closed and still keep it witchy looking was the challenge. I made a hat band at the bottom instead of a little band at the top like we did in class. What's great about this project is that you can make it any size you want.
It would be a cute to put a Halloween cupcake inside or some gummy candy body parts. :)
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
