VALENTINE MIX & LOVE MOSAIC
Greetings BrickTrick BLOG Friends!
Despite all the many kits and other things we've built, we'd never really experimented with brick mosaics. So Trick set out to create a brick Valentine using bold colors including red and two shades of pink. The result is a free standing mosaic built on two 8x16 peg base plates which can be placed side-by-side as shown. The design also works when the base plates are arranged on top of each other in a square layout, though the mosaic panels cannot stand up in this position and have to be laid flat for display. The LOVE mosaic incorporates several cool bright pink, dark pink, red transparent and white bricks and plates, as well as lots of red transparent 1x1 smooth tiles which cover the entire background of the base plates between each of the letters and the heart motif.
More details about this project and building instructions using new software we're experimenting with will be available in a future posting.
Enjoy and happy building!
