Very First Halloween Pumpkin

Yi with her very first Halloween pumpkin

Volunteer work can be fun too! This is Yi (pronounced E) who is a new volunteer down at the Akiyama Wellness Center. She has never carved a Halloween pumpkin before until today. I won a pumpkin at our last staff meeting and didn't have time to get it craved. Yi did a great job with a little coaching from some of our seniors.

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.
