Sharing In Nature | LMAC FreeStyle Collage No. 126

Hello LMAC and Hive members. I wanted to share with you my current freestyle collage. If you'd like to join in the regular contests, visit Let's Make a Collage - A Contest for All Creatives on Hive - Round 233 - ✨25 HIVE in the Prize Pool!.

I love nature themes, so for this design, it entails a small child who befriends a squirrel. In their encounter, she offers the animal a gift. The pine cone is a welcome site.

In preparing my theme, I was fortunate to discover a lovely free-sourced image of a child playing in water in which she encounters a squirrel. The expression on both their faces are precious. It inspired me to utilized the item in the girl's hand to transform to a cone to match the one on the contest post.

I then colored the cone purple. A soothing and serene hue. I used a pure fractal I created in the advanced fractal rendering program, Apophysis 7X.

Below are the steps I utilized in Canv, my design program, a to blend the different type images. I envisioned using the photo of the girl and squirrel as the background looming large in the scene.

I began with a blank, white canvas, then added layers of elements, removing backgrounds, resizing, duplicating, colorizing, and repositioning items as needed incorporating the tools at my disposal in my Annual Pro Membership Subscription.

The images I included to complete my theme are listed below.
