A dragonfly made of iridescent yarn, blending glowing silk threads of blue, purple, and emerald, perched on softly spun wheat stalks made of wool. The yarn reflects light like beetle wings. The wings appear to shimmer with both texture and light, seamlessly fusing textile softness with bioluminescent hues, hyper-detailed, moody lighting, 4k

Yeah we got it trained up on iridescent yarn pretty good now =D
Thanks for showcasing that!

i really like where dalle started with the concept.
i wonder if your prompt uses terminology like, made ‘with’ yarn, or made ‘from’ yarn?

I used @webpause22’s prompt. I wanted to see how it differed with dalle. BTW, Your tree is awesome!

A few BW portraits of fictitious modern machines (humanoid, robotic arm, server blade). Love the dramatic use of light and shadows to create the intensity that was in vogue in many of the great 20th century portraits shot on large format film. So cool that AI can now predict not just tokens, but photons too really!

@polepole It’s intersting that the words “are” and “be” in the second image, and the word “are” in the third image seem to have a space after them, even though your prompt does not have this space in it. Wonder if that tells us anything about any intermediate steps that the model takes to generate the image.
Your image is absolutely stunning — I was truly inspired by it. I tried adding a subtle 3D twist to enhance its depth and vibrancy. Thank you for the inspiration!
The prompt
A vibrantly colored dragonfly made entirely from intricately woven threads and yarn, resting on a bed of golden wheat stalks. The wings are delicately translucent, with fine embroidery-like patterns. Spools of teal and turquoise thread are scattered around, creating a harmonious background. The perspective is inverted 3D, giving the dragonfly a slightly elevated, surreal presence, with shadows and highlights emphasizing depth and texture in a mystical, textile-inspired environment.

This is so good…the water drops on the leaves combined with the glowing thread dragonfly is exceptional.

It was me that was inspired by you - your prompt - I just used it to create a DALL-E 3 version. Your new prompt (and the image) is masterfull…

For any that didn’t know there are some nice old Dall-E images here on this for some additional inspiration

Trying different matériels is cool !
With the 3d effect on the sand
The prompt 
A highly detailed 3D sand sculpture of a dragonfly viewed from an inverted perspective, carved intricately into fine golden sand. The wings show precise vein patterns, the body is textured with micro-details, and the lighting casts realistic shadows to emphasize depth and relief. Ultra-realistic, zoom-level clarity, with a slight low-angle tilt to enhance the illusion of emerging from the sand.

Nice to have you back and yes, sometimes it just takes a little time out 
And a little time in the nature and interact with other intelligences, not only humans or AIs

Nice idea! The opposite of yarn or fibres is sand 
I tried to create my dragonfly from dentrites - which are for example snowflakes

These are great! Do you have horses?
