BrickCon 2012

The following is a preliminary version of the article about BrickCon that I'm doing for HispaBrick Magazine.

Fun!

I have been a bit slow getting to the BrickCon mosaics.  They'll be coming along, I promise.  But first, here is a BrickCon entry from a different category:  The "Fun Haus" by Paul Hetherington (Brickbaron) was awarded the "Best in Town" award this year.  I know it was in the town category, but look at all the mosaic work!  It's fantastic.

Here's a close-up of the snake mosaic: 

 

 

Check out the ornamentation on the side of the building:

 

Here is a photo of the "Day of the Dead" flower mosaic on the ground, without the rest of the model:

 

 I love how precisely those butterflies fit together. 

 

 

Here's a close-up of another small bit of ornamentation:

 

 

 

The rotational symmetry makes my heart happy.  When I grow up, I want to build like Paul!  ;-)

P.S.  It moves!
