This is Felix "Fishhook" Johnson. Felix spends his free time fishing on Teapot Island all by himself. You see Felix needs to get away by himself because he's always being made fun of by his friends. It's the hat. His mother makes him wear that silly hat all the time. At one point he thought that it would seem cooler if he added a Skull and Crossbones to the hat - he could be a pirate. But his mom didn't like that idea. No. No son of hers was going to be a pirate. But, he could be a fisherman.
So instead of the Skull and Crossbones she added a fishhook to his hat.
His buddies didn't get it. They thought it was just the letter "J" for his last name so they just avoided him. What nut in a pointy hat needs their initial on it?
So everyday now Felix takes his fishing pole and heads on out to the beach. He's just been very lucky as you can see. He has a pile of fish there! Some sparkly fish for dinner tonight. Maybe his mom will get tired of cooking fish and let him be a pirate. Maybe then he could find some sparkly pirate treasure and he could buy teapot island and make all the boys wear silly hats!
And I just now realized that I forgot the mountain and the sun - oh well, it must have been the angle of the photographer in my mind!

Right into the faves this baby went. I have no idea why because I could never recreate this, but it shore is just amazing. Love how you tore your paper to make it look like a real beach design. You are so creative.

I am sure the mountain and sun are just out of view because of your perspective on the beach - you're looking up it towards Felix, instead of out to sea. And as I was looking at this again I was just admiring the curve of the shore line and the depth it adds, along with the extra layer of sand at the front. I still think Felix is such a cute image.

Awww poor little Felix, can't see why people would make fun of this cutie little pointy hat....(bbbbbbbwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh). Guess he will be having issues later in life. LOL
Love the beach scene Lorraine, all is perfect here. I too, missed the the mountain and sun...that's cool, were here and all is well. Wow, I'm a philosopher now! Look MA! TFS love your cards, and really, Felix, I think he's a doll and a darn good silverfisherman too.
