A while back I saw a Lego display and previews for another
that had pictures made out of Legos.
These were of famous paintings and far more advanced than I could do,
but this gave me the idea to do something similar but way more simple. This turned out to be flowers. First I had to check out my Legos to see what
colors and shapes of each I had so I could know what I could make. Then had to
find pictures of flowers or simple cross stitch patterns. Next I made customized cross stitch patterns
on Stitch fiddle. Then I had to get Lego
plates of different sizes depending on the size and shape of the picture, so mostly
16x16 plates. I had to try to hook the plates
together as well as I could. And then I put
the Legos down according to my patterns.
On my last two the tulips and the sunflower I put a layer of thinner Lego
plates under where I wanted the flowers to go to raise them up above the
background.
Columbine (Colorado state flower)
Hibiscus
Luther rose
Tulips
Sunflower
This was a fun adventure! I started out not knowing exactly what I was doing, but I kept learning from each picture. Now I know a lot more about how to make these Lego pictures and can’t wait to make bigger and better pictures.
These are really nice. You are very creative.I made an applique quilt very similar to your tulip plate.
