The healing journey of a widowed, unschooling badass in Delaware.
Creating a pleasing diamond shape was harder than I expected, but it was a lot of fun to use so many translucent elements.
Working the old rocket pieces in gives it some UFO vibes. I’ve been thinking more retro lately and trying to expose more studs. When I was a young builder, we didn’t have many smooth tiles and I especially like the round openings of the 1×1 columns around the base.
By Her Hand Tattoos made a guest appearance in our project with a floral mandala that pushes the limits of what shapes are possible with Lego.
We’re on a monster movie kick and I find my younger son’s battle between giant, legged shark and croc creatures more engaging than Godzilla and King Kong’s latest bout.
I’ve gotten a couple days behind on our Delaware Fun-A-Day project and spent most of today on this quiet space for learning and creating.
I went a little more wild and fun with this spinning top.
Larger and less ornate than Mega Magic Turt, this companion piece makes me wonder how many variations of these creatures could exist.
One of our most frequent Lego club attendees loves to create sprawling indoor and outdoor environments. She graciously accepted the physical boundaries of our Delaware Fun-A-Day project and built this adoption agency full of animals waiting for a home.
My older son is working behind the scenes in Pages Alive Theater‘s production of Much Ado About Nothing. He has a natural talent for comedy, but I can tell he is craving another go at tragedy.
His first speaking part was as a messenger in Macbeth and the Scottish play has been on his mind as he thinks more about theater.
Here he recreates the opening scene with automatons as witches in opposition to the martial dress of Macbeth and Banquo.
Alternate visions and interpretations are always encouraged in our learning lifestyle and Manga Shakespeare: Macbeth served as an inspiration for this build.
Play. Play with colors. Play with shapes.
I thought I was building an abstract mosaic, toying with angles and curves and trying to make them work together.
It began to come alive, meant for more than a stationary life.
The curves and angles started to make more sense. Shapes and colors became more complementary.
This one was a lot of fun and I imagine it will get a companion.
