The bee guild had a guest speaker on Monday who makes homemade soap. You may be wondering what soap and bees have in common. You can use both honey and bees wax in your soap. It was pretty interesting, especially all the caution around using lye. Who knew that something when fresh could burn your skin off would later turn into soap. With a new puppy in the house I don't think I will be making any soap anytime soon. Annie is a good girl but she does have her moments and at 50 pounds she is not easy to ignore.
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
