"I eat books"

A lot of people use food metaphors about their reading, but I knew a gal once who gave that notion an interesting twist. She was rail-thin, and people used to ask her how she managed to stay so skinny. Her answer: "I eat books."

Cut-paper postcard created for the Kollage Kit weekly theme: "Books." The stunning background is the Owyhee River canyon in southwestern Idaho. The arms & hands are from a 19th century magician's poster.
