Pommes and Peas was created by accentuating the fruit's stains after imprinting, popping the seeds and letting the juices flow! Pomegranates are symbolic of fertility and often paired with peacocks in ancient artifacts revering the Roman Goddess Juno

I'm lucky to visit the ever-present peacocks at Mayfield Park and Nature Preserve in Austin, TX.
