Legos are very popular in our household. The kids are always building things and then playing with their creations. Smashups are unavoidable and are, for a brief period, a bit upsetting. But then they can rebuild and/or revise and all is right in the world.
As a result little bits of plastic are strewn about upstairs, littering the stretch of hallway between their rooms and in the bedrooms themselves. They would be downstairs too, but I drew the line there. No Legos are to be brought downstairs or I will chuck them. Period. There is nothing more painful than stepping on one of the smaller pieces with a bare foot. I want to limit my exposure to that particular risk, hence the ban. I now understand why my mother's favorite sound in the world was the distinctive rattle of a Lego as it was vacuumed up.
Anyway this week's artist is Jake and his creation was inspired by Lego magazine.
It is a sort of spaceship and I like the care and attention to detail. Jake made sure the pieces match in color and shape.
It's an elegant little vessel and I just plain like it. Especially if it stays upstairs and away from the soles of my bare feet.
