Despite my wife&#8217;s objections, I&#8217;m planning to take a MOC, with the requirement being, easy to cary in an overhead bag&#8230; Throw into this crazy mix, we&#8217;ve really been impressed with LEGO Dots &#8212; mostly the vibrant colors, the the packaged bento-boxed designed sets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the back of my mind, I&#8217;m thinking about what to build&#8230; One thought was rehash the floating rock display, modify the base (so it&#8217;s easier to pack), add more rocks, do a suspended bridge between rocks, add more organic elements, maybe a few floating rocks with castle ruins on top (like a remains of a tower)&#8230;  To be honest, I haven&#8217;t totally discounted this idea.  I feel like the display needs the built out more to enrich the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However another idea I&#8217;m thinking about is a tribute sculpted mosaic to Mary Blair.  Something that&#8217;s no thicker than 4-5 inches, built on several half baseplates (12&#215;32), figuring it might end up bing about 84&#215;32 studs&#8230; Still noodling on this one, but able to capture some of her wide images like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"396\" data-attachment-id=\"132910\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.brickbuildr.com\/picdisneyrrauction171122maryblaircinderellaw-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.brickbuildr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/picDisneyRRAuction171122MaryBlairCinderellaw-2.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1050,406\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"picDisneyRRAuction171122MaryBlairCinderellaw-2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.brickbuildr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/picDisneyRRAuction171122MaryBlairCinderellaw-2-300x116.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.brickbuildr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/picDisneyRRAuction171122MaryBlairCinderellaw-2-1024x396.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.brickbuildr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/picDisneyRRAuction171122MaryBlairCinderellaw-2-1024x396.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-132910\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brickbuildr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/picDisneyRRAuction171122MaryBlairCinderellaw-2-1024x396.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.brickbuildr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/picDisneyRRAuction171122MaryBlairCinderellaw-2-300x116.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.brickbuildr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/picDisneyRRAuction171122MaryBlairCinderellaw-2-768x297.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.brickbuildr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/picDisneyRRAuction171122MaryBlairCinderellaw-2.jpg 1050w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Or like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"515\" data-attachment-id=\"132911\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.brickbuildr.com\/animation\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.brickbuildr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Animation.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1000,515\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Animation\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.brickbuildr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Animation-300x155.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.brickbuildr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Animation.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.brickbuildr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Animation.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-132911\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brickbuildr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Animation.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.brickbuildr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Animation-300x155.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.brickbuildr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Animation-768x396.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The ones I&#8217;ve been looking at are from <em>Cinderella<\/em>, obviously&#8230; I&#8217;ve been looking at images from <em>Alice in Wonderland<\/em> that are just as rich, with more greens and florals.  I&#8217;m thinking about mixing in minifigs or Friends-dolls, minifig sized horses\/architectural pieces, Playing with depth, color&#8230; maybe skewing the visuals out towards the viewer (say in the above, building out the steps to the staircase in tile, making the dance floor at a skewed angle, adding a little depth to the balcony above the dance floor, take a little liberty in sky colors behind the glass windows, etc.). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The more I look at the above image, I wonder if it hasn&#8217;t been chopped down from a larger\/longer image&#8230; In the image above, with the carriage arriving at the castle; I&#8217;ve found the same image, but cropped smaller, where the three house tops on the right hand side and the one house on the left hand side were cropped out&#8230; At first glance, I discounted the cropped image because it didn&#8217;t look &#8220;balanced&#8221;&#8230; The ballroom feels a little unbalanced as well, like there should be more on the right hand side&#8230; but that could just be me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I love visual elements in all three images in this post, the colors are dark and rich.  There&#8217;s a forth image that I didn&#8217;t include that had the carriage glowing in gold\/yellows\/whites casting sickly-greens on the buildings it was driving in front of&#8230; I have different shades of purples and pinks, a stash of pale yellows, dark blues&#8230; I think my next step is to do some sketches, figure out how I&#8217;ll connect the &#8220;panels&#8221; together and skewing some of the elements towards the viewer&#8230;<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=brickbuildr\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few weeks ago, my wife and I started planning a trip to Europe for fall, with plans to go<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":132912,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[344,126,325,159,230],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-132913","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-denmark","category-disney","category-international","category-moc","category-wip"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.brickbuildr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/cinderella_fotor.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p6YMsl-yzL","jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brickbuildr.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132913","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brickbuildr.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brickbuildr.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brickbuildr.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brickbuildr.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132913"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.brickbuildr.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132913\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":132915,"href":"https:\/\/www.brickbuildr.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132913\/revisions\/132915"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brickbuildr.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/132912"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brickbuildr.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132913"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brickbuildr.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132913"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brickbuildr.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132913"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
