FLAT FISH PAPER ARTS: Operation Write Home

Operation Write Home

One of the women in my CJ group asked us to make cards for operation write home when it's time for us to work on her CJ project. Since I make cards all the time, I decided to start working on them early. I know to keep them simple (bulky cards don't mail well) and not to use glitter. I also make cards for our troops for a local group here in the Bay Area. The only challenge is making manly ones. :)

What's with the blog name?

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.
