 Every so often, the various Bionicle fansites out there will do a building contest. Most of these contests are based on Bionicle-style creations, but the most exciting ones to those of us who aren't Bionicle fans are always the contests that ask builders to use the Bionicle parts to build something outside of the theme. This sculpture of a rose is beautiful, and fitting for Valentine's Day today.
Love is sacrificing rare colors like dark red, dark green, pearl gray, and trans-dark-blue, isn't it?
Most of the building techniques here are fairly straightforward - the two to catch are the paird-up masks at the top and the use of loose balls from ball-and-socket-joints to put dark green socket beams close together (Close up photo: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2815373 ). |

 Happy Mother's Day! Surprisingly, there aren't all that many good Mother's Day themed models out there. Here's a reasonably-scaled bouquet of flowers (and flowers always make a great gift). The vase they're in is a Pick-a-Brick cup. The design itself is pretty simple and doesn't look too sturdy, but it is an excellent likeness of flowers. Of course, finding enough 1x1 round green bricks and 1x2x3 inverted slopes to build these yourself could be a bit difficult, but you could probably try out some other ideas for flower-building too. |

 I think it's pretty clear how these beautiful tulips were done, but I have to admit it's a pretty clever design even if it does look easy to copy. Of course, that's assuming you have the parts - I know I don't have the dark red ones. I love the upside-down palm trees here. | | This is Thursday's model of the day |
