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
