I know not this isn't the best photo but it was a very long day. I drove for 1.5 hours to pick up some estate jewelry from another dealer and I was on her street just of few houses away when she canceled at the last minute. Totally waste of gas and my time. I decided to check out some Goodwills while I was in town and I only found this pyrex bowl. Now the hunt is on to find the rest of the set. I've had two sets in the past which I've sold. This is what makes picking fun, the hunt. The small red bowl is the hardest to find in good condition because most people put it in the dishwasher and it fades the color. The large yellow one is the easiest one to find.
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
