Went to a pin cushion workshop at FabMo today. It was so much fun as we had access to a warehouse of fabric! A variety of containers were provided and after the first test run using cotton fabric it was game on. I liked the look of velvet but it was a little too thick but I went with it anyways. The linen and silk were easier to work and with all the samples there was no limit to how creative you could get. My container was on the big side so I could use bigger prints. My project looked like a royal crown when I added a lace doily and some pearls. :)

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.
