Brickworkz LEGO mosaics : Clientz : The Pollards: Parts are in! I wasted no time... Parts are in! I wasted no time...
Not two minutes after I saw the boxes at my door, I was ripping them open and inventorying the parts. 13,000 LEGOs in front of me was an awesome spectacle to behold. I laid out the baseplates and dumped bag after bag of plates out on top. Here's a photo of what I'll be working with. Once everything was sorted out, I didn't waste any time. I immediately framed out the design, then got to work. It didn't take long to do all this. I spent from 7pm until about 1:30am, and when I was done, I had almost completed an entire 48 x 48 square. (that's 2,304 LEGOs) This. was. so. much. fun. I couldn't stop! I had phone calls to make, so I threw on the headset and worked as I talked. Slapping the parts into place reminded me of cross-stitching... everything's relative to everything else, and mapping out LEGOs on a grid, is almost exaclty like mapping out colors of thread. --even when a mistake was made, I just whipped out my official LEGO brick removal tool and got right back to work. I was having a blast. Time just FLEW as I laid out these things, creating a tiled mosaic. I went to bed feeling happy that I had made so much progress in just one night.
