Yellow Snail Soup. How delicious I imagine it if I were prone to delve into such a delicacy. However, I can imagine how distasteful it would be for the main ingredient.
Hello LMAC and Hive members. I wanted to share my current freestyle collage. My theme entails a well-planned rescue of Snolly, the Snail, by a close friend from the cauldron. In the midst of being prepared for the heat, a skewer has been inserted into Snolly's backside.
Luckily, Mockley the mouse arrives in time to save his friend from the knife about to be used to devein him.
Mockley snatches Snolly from the prep table and buckle him onto the side of his head. Barely able to remain conscious, Snolly hold on in a daring venture that almost goes awry. Their narrow escape from the woman of the forest planning a Halloween party for family and friends.
My design is a freestyle version. However, if you'd like to join in visit the community and participate in the regular contest, check out [Let's Make a Collage - A Contest for All Creatives on Hive - Round 239 - ✨42 HIVE in the Prize Pool!](https://peakd.com/hive-174695/@lmac/lets-make-a-collage-a-contest-for-all-creatives-on-hive-round-239-42-hive-in-the-prize-pool).
In preparing the theme, I decided on a Halloween event. So, a witch and witchy elements were required. From my inventory, I located the perfect female to represent a modern version of a witch. She's preparing a party for her group.

I then utilized Canva to blend the different type images. Below are my steps in which I began with a blank, white canvas, then added layers of elements, removing backgrounds, resizing, detaching elements from their backgrounds, duplicating, colorizing, and repositioning items as needed incorporating the tools at my disposal in my Annual Pro Membership Subscription.
