Two new flower mosaics....
Well, okay, the ParLUGment one isn’t really new since it’s been built for a
few months and was actually on display at Brickfest. I’m a little behind in
taking pictures. :)
The LEGO logo seemed like an obvious good candidate for a mosaic of this
type. The only problem of course was that LEGO doesn’t make black flowers.
Go figure. Using blue flowers seemed like a reasonable compromise on the
ParLUGment mosaic, but that just wasn’t going to cut it for the LEGO one. I
finally bit the bullet and, with the advice of ParLUGment’s resident painting
expert, dove into the task of painting 180ish blue flowers black. I think
they turned out pretty well, but it certainly wasn’t very much fun.
Someday, probably when I’ve forgotten what a pain it is to paint flowers, I’d
like to retrofit black ones into the ParLUGment mosaic as well.
Enjoy,
J

It was a pleasure to be able to see these up close, outstanding work Jason. The
flower beds looked amazing in the town/train display. I was surprised how each
flower sort of locks in the other holding them in place because I have always
had issues with the flowers falling over in my displays.
