As the Spokes Turn | LMAC Collage FreeStyle No. 106
I wanted to share with you my Freestyle Collage No. 106. My theme "is thoughts as the world turn".
The LMAC Community run by @shaka holds a weekly collage contest for its members. In the Community, you'll discover a variety of themed entries submitted for consideration. If selected for the final round, contest hopefuls anxiously await results indicating their placement that determines the prize awarded. It's a fun contest that any Hive member can participate. If you'd like to join in, just visit the LMAC Community account here and follow the rules of the contest for details on the latest round.
The LMAC Community also offers an opportunity for members to create and post in the Community "freestyle" collage themes. In the freestyle option, more freedom is allowed to design your creations without having to incorporate the weekly contest photo. However, contest rules still apply.
Please visit the Community page for any questions on how to successfully publish in the LMAC Community.
In preparing my theme, I used three LMAC contest images, together with a unique bicycle with an unusual background. Often I'll discover an image that sends my thoughts spiraling. I wonder what would that object be doing and why. That's when a collage theme appears.
I decided to include a female image and located another unique photo of as woman whose face is embedded in a tree. This should produce a visually appealing image with the bicycle covering her face.

I then utilize Canva to blend the different type images. Below are my steps in which I begin with a blank, white canvas, then added layers of elements, removing backgrounds, resizing, and repositioning items as needed incorporating the tools at my disposal in my Annual Pro Membership Subscription.

Thanks so much for your lovely compliment @rafzat. I appreciate it and am pleased you liked my freestyle collage. Take care.
Lovely creation as always, The wheels of the old fashioned bike reminded me of a clock in which the lady’s memories goes back and forth.
Thanks for including my lil image. 😊
Hope all is well with you and you are enjoying the summer. 💕
Hello @redheadpei. Lovely interpretation. I can see the memories flowing back and forth. Thanks for the analysis. I'll keep that in mind for future short fiction stories. My themes and your #LIL images are a creative match. I'm doing OK this summer. Survived a hurricane and storms with flooding. Now the intense heat waves over 100deg. But I'm still alive and tending to my health.
I appreciate your visit and engagement. Thanks for the support. Take care.
