The big move is over finally over which means the HUGE stack of boxes have to be unpacked. Even with all the downsizing I've done over the years, I can't believe how much I still have! I decided to keep the big sectional sofa that was in the ADU because of Posey the resident chocolate lab. It's way bigger than I need but it works for her. There's also a big glass coffee table (5'X5') that weighs a ton. It's so heavy that I can't move it. It's been years since I've had a coffee table but having any flat surface is a plus in my world. Of course right now it has boxes stacked all over it. :) One of the last things I packed was my silverware, which I can't find. Makes it a little challenging when I want to eat my yogurt. :) If Posey is in the backyard she will escort me to my front door and start looking for treats. Today I gave her some frozen banana in a Kong ball. Looks like I will need to get some fresh peanut butter!
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.

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
