Of Memories and Stars | Let's Make A Collage Round 220 (Entry #1)
Hello LMAC and Hive members. @shaka, will hold a monthly contest with participants having the ability to submit multiple entries during that month for consideration. If you'd like to join in this monthly round for November with a deadline of December 2, end of day (midnight UTC), visit: Let's Make a Collage - A Contest for All Creatives on Hive - Round 220 - ✨100 HIVE in the Prize Pool!.
I wanted to share with you my Entry #1 collage for the LMAC Round 220. My theme was centered around memories. I envisioned surrounding an individual with delightful recollections of a time past as she languishes near an undisturbed river. Her gaze is of wonderment.
I love being near the water. There I can relax and contemplate issues and resolutions without input. An imaginary veil descends and cover my thoughts with paths I didn't realize before possible. The birds land nearby hoping for a morsel from my bucket. Tossing a few bait in their direction, they hustle to gain an advantage over their competitors, then take flight.
I smile.
I reach over and pull out a slimy, wiggling worm, attach it to the hook on my rod, and cast out over the water.
I wait.
In preparing my theme, I located a haunting image of a female whose gaze aimed at the skyline. Facing forward, one gets the feeling she's staring into another's eyes. She absorbs the calamities; then exhales them, reintroducing a calm upon the water. The accompanying elements serve to bring the shore to life as the LMAC contest image provide2 a shoreline and water scene. My pure fractals I designed in the advanced fractal rendering program, Apophysis 7X lent color to the scene, especially to the female's face. For my background image, I utilized a free tool within Canva.
Below are my procedures and elements used to complete my collage:

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, duplicating, colorizing, resizing, and repositioning items as needed incorporating the tools at my disposal in my Annual Pro Membership Subscription.

I like the water as well. I believe this mass is a kind of rectifier for our thoughts and feelings. Maybe we resonate with it since we are mostly made of it. Love the collage and the story.
I love your interpretation of the water as a rectifier. It's no wonder we love the water. Thanks so much for stopping by. I appreciate it. Take care.
