Monday was one of those really bad days. It started at midnight and last most of the day. If it could go wrong it did. I finally decided I needed a little retail therapy, so I went to Micheal's to see what was new with Martha Stewart and her Halloween line. Of course I didn't have a coupon with me so that really limits what you can get. Normally I don't look at the dollar stamps,(I can't use them in the classes) but I thought they were too cute to pass up. I also picked up two Cricut cartridges that were on sale. With all the outside projects I've been working on, I haven't spent much time in my studio. I plan to spend the day designing, cleaning up and getting my next round of class samples done.
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
