[Caption] Weaving the constellations. When I first saw the challenge, I immediately know what I DO NOT want to present - a beautiful woman weaving colourful threads of silk on magnificent looms. I believed that would be what most people would be doing, and I want to present something different instead. So I turned my attention to another suggested direction - enchanted weaving. After brainstorming with AI, I decided to create an enchantress (who I later used to represent my companion) weaving star maps with threads that mimic silk. I was expecting to land around the rank of 30s after seeing the works of others during the voting process. The results were completely what I had expected (ranked 38 out of 70). - the top 10 all had visually stunning images of maidens weaving on gorgeous looms, and I presume that my slightly darker presentation lost to these wonderful portrayals of silk weavers.
