I was asked to do a card class for the ladies down at the San Jose Buddhist church next month. I was inspired by Michael Strong Asian theme cards. Since I don't know how many people will be attending the class I had to keep it simple but interesting. Thanks Mike!
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

Wow, Lisa. These are all lovely, but the one with the bowl and the crane paper took my breath away! Simply beautiful!
Great cards, especially the white one with the cranes. It's very elegant.
