I found this vintage Santa blow mold at the Lending Hand thrift store down here in Carmel. It was $10.00 and being sold as it. At first I only saw a crack along the leg which wasn't all that bad but then I saw the giant hole at the base. Most of the time on these large blow mold the damage is done around the top part. Plus the hole looked like a shadow when it was on the shelf. Anyways I decided for $10 I could at least get $25 for it. I posted it on Facebook Marketplace and got dozens of people interested in it until I confirmed that they actually looked at where the damage was. Most the people where resellers and these blow mold sell for about $200 if in perfect condition. Sun damaged doesn't affect the value too much but a big hold will. I'm sure they all thought I forgot a zero on my price and they were going to score big time.

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.
