It's a never ending battle to try and keep my studio work table clean. With all the prototypes of stamped images that may turn into a class or cards (or may not) and rubber stamps, I have the stacks everywhere. When I'm cleaning up, I make some quick cards with those images laying around that I just can throw out. You can't see the silver Star Dreams paper I used for the base card but it does add a nice little sparkle.
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
