So last week I went on a creative R&R trip with my crafting buddy Patty. We went to check out a fabric store and small craft fair. The fabric store had some fun prints and knowing Patty can sew, I asked if she would make me an over sized tote and a over the shoulder purse when I only want to carry my wallet and cell phone. Of course I picked out some fun cat fabric. Patty did a great job! While we were having our breakfast meeting Patty asked about what I wanted done with the extra fabric. I love the big tote design so much I asked for another one. The scary cat will be made into to i-pad envelope for my up coming i-pad project. Poor Patty had to listen to a very long and bubble thinking (I think in bubbles, some people call it creative thinking, some call it just crazy)reason on why I wanted a cover for a i-pad I don't have yet.
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
