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

(...) These look really spiffy, even if the painting bit does make me cringe. :-) Spotlighted. XFUT to lugnet.parts.mod because painting is a kind of mod, isn't it? So what kind of paint did you use, and did you have any adhesion problems? (20 years ago, 20-Oct-04, to lugnet.build.mosaic, lugnet.parts.mod, FTX)

(...) yes, these were a very colourful addition to the layout. not as colourful as they would be if someone (no names) would paint some mauve & peach coloured flowers for the rest of his group, but awesome just the same. the big question is, will we (...)
