When I'm having a creative block, I make backgrounds for my cards. For the longest time I could never get the squishy acrylic block technique to work. I've watched many YouTube video, but until I watched one done by Jennifer McGuire did the light bulb go on. It's not rocket science but Jennifer explained the why and how without a lot of excess blabbling, which is the down fall so many other crafting blogs. The photo doesn't show the really cool ones on made since I've already turned them into cards. Big thank you to Jennifer! I will link her blog posting on how to do this technique once I figure out how to do it. :)

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
Some times you just have to do something different and see the world from a another angle.

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.
