With the house quiet and clean, I've been working long hours out in the studio. Now that I have a XXL large work table (will post photos once I get enough of it cleaned off so you can see it) I can spread out even more! It was great working last night and having Annie be able to fit under the table happily chewing on a mom approved toy and Squeak bouncing around the table without getting in my way. I have tons of this clown paper left over from a custom invitation project. I now have to think of how many things can make with the leftovers. This is the first of three cards for my card kits at Memories Live On.
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
