Back fence gossip
Leonardo to mask and composite 3 layers
I don’t remember the octopus, but feel like I’ve seen that cow before.
The cow's been around. I masked her out from the background in Leonardo and saved her as a PNG, so she's been dropped into several collages.

I would think that there wouldn’t be enough common ground for gossip.
”Well, you know that old hagfish, well, she…”
”Actually, I don’t know any hagfish. They don’t shop the neighborhood market.”
The magic happens inside the skull
One of my favorites from the archives, this probably has more layers than I've used before or since. The skull is from a photo I snapped while waiting in a doctor's office. Collage assembled in Leonardo; Style/Lighten/3 added and faded in iColorama.

This image is amazing and intriguing and mind-boggling
I'm not sure what I see. For a moment I thought I saw the "famous cow" at the upper right under the cyclops owl. But it was the claws of the bird that fooled me. They looked like eyes in my eyes 
I couldn't swear that the cow is not in there someplace, buried under the other layers. (I can identify at least 8 layers visible, but there could be more.)This image is amazing and intriguing and mind-boggling
Layers add up. That’s the best thing about collaging. It’s makes amazing images.

I believe you, Ted
What a great catch, even better abstractifed
Thank you. I had to supply the egret since he, being a poet, was only imagining one for his ode.What a great catch, even better abstractifed
No kidding. They like to run and hide behind other ones when you're not looking, too.
I believe that, too, Ted
Fantastic!

Love it! The famous octopus is in there.
The octopus is quite amazing in person. It's a cast bronze sculpture that's wrapped around a functioning water main valve on the Santa Cruz wharf. You can see part of the valve in the gossip image. The whole thing is 5 or 6 feet tall. It must have been an epic battle to get city planning and the fire department to approve that.Love it! The famous octopus is in there.

Leonardo and iColorama
Looks like he’s just getting ready to water the garden! BTW nice selections and blending in this.
Thanks. Sometimes I spend my uninspired moments masking out bits like the octopus in hopes they'll turn out to be useful later. It's a good mind-numbing job.
And the genie appeared in a cloud of smoke...

Cool!
It does have an autoharp-ish look there in the center, maybe?
