It's been a marathon at work. Lots to do and not enough time in the day to get everything done. I'm still doing my card class down at the Akiyama Wellness Center, as crazy as my schedule is. I really like chatting with the ladies and it forces me to do something creative from start to finish. I'm doing a lot of program development but it's all in the planning stages and will take months to see they will work out or not. One project that is coming together is the therapeutic massage clinic that will start in June. That has been a request from our seniors and the family support groups for a long time. When I had to switch over to using Copics, I never work with my regular markers very much. I decided while I was walking Annie, that I should do some old school stamping. This is direct to rubber stamping.
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
