A big shout out to Sandy Allnock (artist and paper crafter) who posted a video using her Copic air compressor instead of a straw to blow the alcohol inks around. I was so excited to see another use for this very $$$ machine that I haven't used in years. It really is an air brush machine to use with Copic markers but when the price of Copic got very pricey, it wasn't cost effective for me to use it in a class room setting anymore. It sadly went into storage. Sandy did a great video on how to make sort of flower impressions using alcohol inks and the compressor. There is definitely a big learn curve but having to stay home for the next two weeks, I have plenty of time to practice. I think it also works best with the brighter alcohol inks that are new. I'm using what I have, so it's a bit more challenging but until I can master making something close to looking like a flower I'm ok with old dark colors.
THANK YOU SANDY!

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.
