WINNER IS LMCGILL!  Congratulations!  PLEASE MESSAGE JESSICA a here at ACOT!  

THANK YOU to everyone who participated in my challenge, AND, to AMERICAN CRAFTS for a generous prize!! 


Welcome to my last challenge!    

What is a diptych?  It’s a piece of art created when two pieces of hinged painted, carved or written panels are smushed together.  Essentially making a mirror image.  

I took examples from the greatest artist, Mother Nature herself.  Symmetry in nature has always intrigued me, I kept it easy and just used vegetation.  They all aren’t mirror images, but interesting patterns.  So let’s see what we can see!  Who says you can’t combine biology and art?  (I have to use my Biology degree somehow)!  

For this challenge, you are to pick ONE of the 12 photos and recreate the symmetry or pattern on your LAYOUT or CARD.  It can be paper, hybrid or digital.  I look forward to seeing your creations!  (See below for prize from American Crafts, our sponsor). 




RULES

1). Only ONE entry per person.  May NOT be combined with any other challenge EXCEPT the 25 Items Challenge.  
2). It MUST contain  at least 50% of the symmetry or pattern in the photo. Please IDENTIFY a which photo you used.  
3) Open to layouts (paper, hybrid, digital) and cards.  Check box for challenge when you enter so I get your entry for the prize.  
4). Winner is determined randomly.  Due on Monday, May 15th at midnight (EST). 
5). Please post your creation to THIS thread, and HAVE FUN!  Happy international/NSD/weekend!!  

Here is the PRIZE FROM AMERICAN CRAFTS! Thank you for sponsoring!

This challenge definitely had me intrigued and now that I see the full challenge, I'm even more intrigued.  

Interesting challenge!

Great challenge. I am now heading out of town, but I definitely know how I will do this one if I have time when I get back.

I learn something new everyday. Thanks for the challenge. 

(I am hoping this isn’t too hard and I have some participants)!! 

Awesome and creative challenge...I need to get to work.  

This is very inspiring!

I'm not sure I completely understand this challenge.
So I've got a bunch of pineapple-themed pages I want to scrap... but just using a pineapple won't count, right?  I need to have the symmetry of the photo itself?  Does that mean the layout needs to be symmetrical about the center vertical axis?

(⁠θ⁠‿⁠θ⁠) I'm loving this idea!!

Whoa, so cool!  love the photos!
 

Very unique challenge!!

If you can use the pattern of the pineapple that would qualify.  When I used to draw, I looked really close at the item and looked to see on a more microscopic level.  Don’t look at the pineapple itself as a whole.  I will give you an example…

All I see is Fibonacci's Golden Rule!

I guess that is it?!?  I never heard of that before.  Thanks for the education!  But I am terrible a math…

Math is ART in this case, and science, too.  I find it very interesting.  We use it without being aware.

Cool idea!  Great challenge!

Ok here's my attempt: I went for the 3rd image (or 1st in 2nd row)
