Looking for a few good knitters. Well, really anyone who can put two sticks together. Bags and bags full of yarn has been donated to the Akiyama Wellness Center were I'm working at for the summer. I'm in charge of putting this great donation to good use. I would like to make caps and scarves (thinking we could make more of those than blankets) for those who will need them this coming winter. If I knew how to knit small (I don't work well with small needles) we could make caps for babies in the NICU. I will provided the yarn, the room and some knitting needles (I know the serious knitters have their own stash of favorite needles) if you can volunteer some of your time. We can do a knit-a-thon or if you like to knit alone, take some of the yarn home. Let me know if you would like to help out.
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
