out on a limb collages, a set on Flickr.
I'm experimenting with using Flickr to create slideshows for the blog. So, I uploaded a dozen of the Out On a Limb collages but it appears that all I got was a static set. Guess I need to try again and maybe again and again. But first, I'm going to the studio to work out my frustration at this not working, even though I've been at it for at least an hour.

This could explain why Peter was a pumpkin eater

Pumpkin turns men on. Really. In fall of 2010, the Small and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago conducted a study of which aromas act as natural aphrodisiacs and discovered that pumpkin turned men on more than any other smell. Pumpkin pie is my all-time favorite dessert, so, of course, I remembered the study, and had to create a collage with it in mind.
The title isn't too subtle, but the reference to sex in the collage itself is; it's buried in the text, which was torn from a French dictionary. Somehow, French seemed a sexier language than English.
