Bead Cards 2018

FabMo Workshop March 18, 2018

I've done these cards for a class before but I think it's a good one to repeat. The beading is very simple but it really makes the card pop. Finding the seed beads in the right colors is getting to be a challenge. Back in the day there were 4 bead shops in my area. With the new Apple campus going in, retail rents have got through the roof for most mom and pop stores in my area. : (
I use pony bead patterns, which are very easy to follow.

What's with the blog name?

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.
