A Beautiful Mess Challenge Seventeen: Create a Diptych

I didn't know what a diptych was before I read the A Beautiful Mess book despite unknowingly having made a few myself! A diptych is a pair of images displayed together and, as the book says, it's simple to create but it's the story behind it that takes the thinking.

Above, in the book, the girls bring out their love of craft with the cotton - in this challenge they say the key to a successful diptych is pairing something interesting and meaningful together. I didn't want another picture of myself after yesterday's 30-day self-portrait challenge so decided to display my love of cooking and cookbooks in my diptych.

I used iPhone app PicPlayPost - a new discovery which enables you (for free) to paste images together and share them on social media or via email... perfect for this challenge!

Tomorrow I'll be creating a triptych!
