Tempting the Moons | LMAC Collage FreeStyle No. 113

3 months ago

I wanted to share with you my Freestyle Collage No. 113. My theme is "tempting the Moons in an effort to obtain clarification".

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 dwelt on the wonder of imagination. Seeing through the lens of possibilities beyond the world we know. Looking out to the universe with unanswered questions. My use of moons as objects of the imagination is a steadying force in a world of unsteadiness and uncertainty.

That's what the creative process entails as we imagine other worlds and situations that could possibly take place. Searching for answers to help guide us as we attempt to make sense of our world and beyond.

Below is my visual interpretation of this world and how I designed it.

I knew I wanted to night scene, hence the moons, so I began with a previous LMAC contest image of a nighttime atmosphere and landscape with water. An unusual find and perfect for my theme was a young woman admiring the moon. Other #LIL images created a fantasy world.

I then utilized 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.

Below is my completed collage:

Thanks for your visit. I appreciate it. I hope you like my freestyle collage theme.

Nice collage @justclickindiva. Another nice piece of well contemplated symbiosis of symbolic language and the earthy! I think the lady started to see the resolution of her trouble through the genies of the night. And these genies were summoned by the cat.

You're welcome! As I've gotten a little older I just don't feel quite as creative as I did back in my twenties or thirties. I guess I need to reset the brain (or something!)

Sending it out staked really is easier for people so they don't forget to have to go back and do it themselves. Have a great day!
