Today was an R&R day. It's been non stop packing stuff up, moving boxes and furniture. Patty (one of my good buddies who helped with all the moving) took me over the hill (Santa Cruz) to visit a way cool fabric store called Hart's. I don't sew well but I'm always up for a new shopping opportunity and of course a reason to eat at Gayle's. There was a craft show at the fabric store with handmade esty stuff. I just cracked up when I saw this Apple Cozie. In theory it's suppose to keep your apple from getting bruised while you carry it in your purse. I think it's so funny that I'm going to see if I can talk any of the knitting club ladies at the Wellness Center into making some. It was a fun day with nothing really planned but to get creative and eat. :) Thanks Patty!!!!
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
