Hello everyone. I'm back again to share with you another project for "Talent Tuesdays".
FREE COMPLIMENTS COMMUNITY - TALENT TUESDAYS
What's "Talent Tuesdays"? As explained previously, the FreeCompliments Community tells us it's one of their new themed days in the Community that provides a chance to post any of your talents: drawing, singing, sewing, writing (stories, poetry), or anything else that you do! Just make sure to title the post with “Talent Tuesdays” in the title. If you'd like to join in, visit: Talent Tuesdays & Taco Tuesdays on the FreeCompliments Community!.
My current project for Talent Tuesdays is titled "A Sacred Place". My theme consists of a mixed media art design that encompasses a magical world where plum-haired mermaids concoct potions and elixirs from a magical plant meant not only for sick but for the good of humanity and the marine world.
Creating this mixed media art project began with a single diffusion art piece I produced with the stable diffusion program, StarryAI. It depicts a breathtaking azure landscape with periwinkle skyline embedded overlooking a magical place with striking waterfalls. The scene resembles a view from a cave peering out onto the horizon.
I built upon this image, surrounding it with a lovely free-sourced female mermaid, three pure fractals created and rendered in the fractal rendering program, Apophysis 2.09 and the advanced version, Apophysis 7X, another stable diffusion image of fingernails that I utilized a cup to hold a vase, and other free-sourced images.
Below are my steps.
I first retrieved two stable diffusion images from StarryAI for the blue waterfall and the cream colored fingernails. When working with StarryAI, the user is provided with four images once the text description is rendered. The text descriptions for both projects turned out nicely, and the images were central to my theme.

"Waterfall."

Other images I included in my project are listed below.
Female Mermaid ~ Waterfall ~ Pink Wild Onion Flower ~ Pure Fractal titled "Waterfall Tower-Pink and Blue" ~ Pure Fractal titled "Wires Gone Haywire" ~ Pure Fractal titled "Jar of Eternal Lights"
I then utilized Canva to blend the different type images. Below are my steps in which I added layers of elements, removing backgrounds, resizing, and repositioning items as needed.
| Step 1 | Step 2 | Step 3 |
|---|---|---|
| To a blank, white canvas, I added the stable diffusion blue waterfall. | Duplicated the bule waterfall to fill the background. | Added female image. Removed background; resized, and positioned inside waterfall. |
| Step 4 | Step 5 | Step 6 |
|---|---|---|
| Added the three fractals and positioned them. | Added the waterfall and flower. Removed flower's background and repositioned both. | Added the hand. Removed background, then positioned it near the vase. Completed the project. |
I share with you my completed project:
