The Voyage | Mixed Media Art Project

I love creating mixed media art projects from various art types. This is especially true when working with my pure fractals. The fractal is titled "Shawn in Gold"

I wanted to share with the Community my latest project that includes this fractal in which my thoughts reflected the desire to travel. Imagine traveling in a sailboat to a serene, uninhabited place. The lush forestry and exotic birds and animals will delight. You watch the golden sunset as you bathe in its warmth on the shoreline near the cavern.

Does such a place still exists? If it does, my bags are packed.

In preparing my theme, I took advantage of a lovely pure fractal I created in Apophysis 7X, the upgraded fractal rendering program. To the fractal, I added a stable diffusion image I retrieved from one of the diffusion programs I used, StarryAI. The description I inserted into the text field created a perfect vessel to set sail on my voyage.

Below are my steps:

Text input:
"Sailing into the setting sunset and directly away from me with the camera looking over the mast of the ship."

Style: Fantasy
Iterations: 50

When compiling my freestyle collage design, I upload my images to Canva. It's my design program I use to blend my images. Below are the procedures I use that incorporate the tools at my disposal in my Annual Pro Membership Subscription.

To a blank, white canvas, I added the female image.

Duplicated woman's image to fill the canvas and create a background.

Added my colorful circle fractal and fractal cones.

Added the sailboat to the inside of my pure fractal.

Added the hand. Colorized and repositioned it.

Added the bird inside the woman's head and the fractal twirls in the skyline. Repositioned it. Completed the project.

Below is my completed collage:

Thanks for your visit. I appreciate it. I hope you like my mixed media art project.
