It was a busy Mother's Day at our house. I was asked to make a cupcake out of Red Vine licorice for one of my great-nephews who has food allergies. It was the quad's birthday p(four babies born within months of each other) party today. My daughter Evan handed off this assignment to me at the last minute when she realized that it wasn't as easy as it sounded. She did have a great back up plan and made Jello cupcakes. Jello poured into the paper cupcake cups. I thought this was a great idea for kids who can't have dairy or eggs. The birthday babies all get a cupcake with a candle in it, so we had to have something for Ty. I forgot to take a picture of the licorice cupcake but I thought it turned out pretty cute.
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
