I picked these up several months ago at an estate sale. I paid up for them but it's test to see if they really sell for over $200. I've been told that every year when Cottage Crafts put theirs out in the front window, people are always asking to buy them and they're will to pay up to $300 for them. One of those people walked in and when they were told there was a set for sale, they back tracked on the price. All the big resellers say blow mold figures are really hot, so we will see if their right!
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
