I was excited with the Cosmic Creations No. 8 Contest theme "Inspired by Nature." Having already completed and submitted my entry, I wanted to share with you another mixed media art project related to the theme.

In my "Inspired By Nature" Theme No. 3, I wanted to portray a vixen enamored with birds. She believes she is their caregiver and protector. She speaks to them, and they perform her bidding. She provides a special dwelling for their safety. They are surrounded by the beauty of nature.

My project showcases three of my awesome pure fractals I recently design in the advanced fractal rendering program, Apophysis 7X. The pink veil was used to cover the face of the scene and provide an ethereal look.

Other images I located that I felt fit well with my scene were a woman and a bird in a night foggy setting. A bird and a moon were also included.

I chose as my design program, Canva, so I uploaded all images in the hopes of blending them into an ethereal scene. Below are the procedures I used:

Started with a blank, white canvas.

Resized the veil fractal to fill the entire canvas and provide a frame for the woman and bird. This lightened up the background and enhanced the image, I feel.
