**WINNER!***Diptych Dare
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).

3) Open to layouts (paper, hybrid, digital) and cards.  Check box for challenge when you enter so I get your entry for the prize.

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?

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…

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