Building a brighter tomorrow with LEGO® bricks

Poetry Vignettes

My latest models were unveiled at BrickFest yesterday: vignettes illustrating poetry by Robert Frost and A. E. Housman.

These poetry vignettes are not just my work, however. For the first time I have collaborated with my wife Holly to create LEGO models. While I did almost all of the actual assembly, she had the basic idea, did most of the minifig work, and helped a lot with the design, especially with the “Yonder See the Morning Blink” model. I really enjoyed sharing my hobby with her and hope that we can do more projects like these together.

The photo captions contain the name of each poem with a link to a site that contains the full text of the poems.

  1. Thanks. I don’t know if it’s the smallest vignette ever, but it’s about the smallest possible. I guess you could do a 1×2. It’s certainly the smallest one at Brickfest though.
