Thanks Lar!

Most of the doubters are on Christina’s side of the family, or aren’t coming (or both). Pity, though.

My parents were converts to the whole LEGO idea when I built the black dragon, but then again my parents have always been pretty cool people, even if they are a little square (perhaps that helped with the LEGO idea? ;) I met Christina as I was just becoming an AFOL, so she fell in love with a brick-o-phile at the get go.

  
   Let me know what you think!

Hey, I like it a lot. I agree with your choice to emphasise the LEGO-nature by making it all out of bricks.

Is it made with tan bricks or is that an artifact of the lighting?

As for the ring boxes, I note they’re nice and angular too. But to REALLY fit in, you should have gotten square ones with sharp corners!

The Swan is white with a yellow beak, but unfortunately I took the pictures in REALLY poor lighting. I’ll be sure to take some pictures of it after an arrangment is placed in it in better light. I really want to make a second swan to go along side this one, but unfortunately I’ve only less than half of what I started with. I may be able to scrounge around for more white somewhere, but unless I either choose a different color or send off for more bricks with money I don’t have, we’ll have to settle for just one swan.

It may not be the only LEGO MOC there, though. My mother is really pushing Christina to include the last LEGO creation I gave her in the reception, and Christina is really pushing hard not to.

The ring boxes were our only choice, but I agree, square ones would have been great. Apparently Zales has this thing about their boxes looking like their diamond.

Anyway, thanks for the reply! I’m glad you liked what I was able to come up with.
