Inspired by the Day of the Dead sugar skulls, I tracked down this candy mold at the dollar tree. I do add brown sugar to my morning coffee so I thought why not make fun little sugar cubes. Didn't really know if it would really work so I did a test run last night with just regular sugar. At the last minute I decided to add food coloring just to see what would happen. The the skulls turned out super good. All you do is add a little water. You want the sugar to look be a sandy texture before pressing them into the mold. The tombstones didn't turn out but everything else looks great. Going to try it with brown sugar tonight then add it to my coffee bar.

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.
