Welcome

LEGO Do you love Lego? Do you love Star Wars? Well, I sure do! As a result, I have created a "masterpiece" of one of the most iconic Star Wars characters. Additionally, I have taken the time to write a step by step instructable. You can see my flickr set of the mosiac here. Please feel free to leave comments about any questions you may have, also let me know if this piece inspires you to do your own!

Update: Maker Faire 2007 Austin. For those of you finding this site after visiting our booth at Maker Faire, feel free to leave comments or shoot me an email if you end up creating your own Lego Mosaic, I look forward to featuring your creation on here as soon as you email it to me at: legomosaic@gmail.com (yes for those of you who have my card, it's a different address, but will still get to me).

I made plans


I made plans

This is how I worked :)

I would start with a non-black color and much like plotting points on a map, I would meticulously put each square in, one by one (making sure the Lego logo is right side up of course :)

I started with Non-black, because I had about 80% of the squares as black. Which meant if I saved black as the end, I could just put those pieces in any square that was left.

Anyway, I created the map in a program called Bricksaic after I had cleaned up my source image in Photoshop. I should mention I am in no way a graphics guy so I had to learn how to use these programs and pretty much, convince them to do what I wanted :)

Check out the instructable link to see more information on how this is made.
