Sandy Allnock (one of my favorite YouTube artist) did a call out for people to make bookmarks. With the federal cuts in supporting the arts, one of the program is International Child Art Foundation (ICAF) Her challenge for us adults is to make bookmarks that will be handed out to the children attending one of the events. You would think with all the stamps I have I would be able to find something a 10 year old would like. Well, I found out I really don't. Sandy asked that some artistic effort go into making the bookmarks, nothing mass produced and to use our good stuff. I decided to make a collage of washi paper scraps and add an image on top. Haven't decided on the image but it will be Japanese. It's not really child-ish but I think reflect my artistic side.

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.
