Another project that I'm working on for the Akiyama Wellness Center is "Urban Container Gardening". I found a good source for 22 gallon plant containers ($5.50) and I'm looking for a donor to cover that expense. My Dad donated all his one gallon plants containers (he's been saving those for years) so another volunteer I've lined up can use them to start the seedlings. We have the tomatoes going and working on deciding what other vegtables we should grow. I hope to make it part of the health and wellness program we are doing at the center.
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
