While I was down in Carmel, I wanted to do some journaling as I map out what I'll be doing next. I know that I'm not really a daily journaling type but sometimes you just have to put things down on paper.
This title caught my eye and interest so I picked it up. Looks simple enough and maybe something fun to do instead of surfing the internet. Thinking of making it a challenge for my other crafty friends, like a book club for artists.
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
