I've been working on stocking up my card racks I have at various stores so I'm in production mode. I took a creative break to make some backgrounds after being inspired by girlgeek101 post on SCS. I call this old school stamping, since I used my old beat up sponges and Marvy Matchable ink pads. I really like my Marvy ink pads and they do work with Copics but they have been around a long time and stores don't carry them any more. The stamp is from Memory Box.
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
