Well sure, but we're only 12 days into the year, so that's not saying much.


Great idea for a subject matter too - cool and functional.  It'll be
interesting to see the map after everyone's stuck their dots on.

Yeah, me too.  Too bad the internationals aren't recognized, but a world map
would be, well, monstrous.


Eagerly awaiting to adorn Iowa,

Reminds me, I forgot to dot Cleveland with the first dot :)

Here's my latest project, which I've been working on for two months now.
It's a large scale mosaic of a map of the United States of America.  the
reasoning behind building this was I wanted to bring it to the various
fests, and allow people to place 1x1 dots or something similar on the map to

it to Brickswest, as shipping would be pretty expensive.  It WILL be coming
to Brickfest though, since I can drive there.

Anyway, enough blabbing.
