&lt;p&gt;I have a weakness for both artsy paper products and peacocks.  I&amp;rsquo;m fascinated with just how beautiful the covers of journals have become as well as greeting cards and stationary. Peacocks are ostentatious and showy and make a colourful subject to attract the attention of buyers and admirers of peacocks alike.  All the images in this collage come from such products. I took them at different times because of their attractiveness and wasn&amp;rsquo;t sure how I would use them.  They just seemed to be begging to be photo-collaged and this is the result.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
