MOC: Winter Ice Flowers with vases (and a playable landscape base!)
I’m thrilled to share that I’ve submitted my transparent winter flowers MOC to LEGO’s Ideas platform! This means that if you love this idea, you can vote for it to become a real set produced by LEGO someday! I built this set because I really love LEGO’s Botanical collection, and I wanted to see if…

Stud.io build: Simple Goth Vase (with black lotus)
While playing around with Stud.io (a free program for virtual LEGO designing and building), I came up with this simple bud vase. It uses black ornate fence pieces (part # 19121) and black bricks in a layer over a bright light orange brick center vase (it’s a riff on my simple vase for absolute beginners…

MOC: Cockpit Flowers in Alternate Colors
To thank you all for 1,000 votes of support for my Winter Ice Flowers on LEGO’s Ideas Platform, I wanted to share some of the alternate color builds I tried for the large peony-type statement flower I built from cockpits. Here’s the original version #1, with transparent light blue cockpits and transparent dark blue and…

MOC: Winter Ice Flowers in detail
The idea for my Winter Ice Flowers MOC began with using transparent parts for flowers. I’d been building all the botanical sets I could get my hands on, and I wanted more! But they’re trickier than they look… These transparent light blue and orange snowflake sprays were one of my earliest ideas, because I could…

Simple Striped Vase for LEGO’s Wildflower Bouquet
I love the simple colorblock vase I built for my LEGO Roses set, and I wanted to build something similar for my Wildflower Bouquet set. I really love the striped horizon backgrounds from the Tales of the Space Age set, so I used a combination of bricks and plates for a similar effect here. I…

LEGO set: Lotus Flowers (40647)
LEGO’s pink and white Lotus Flowers set is my second favorite of the small individual flower sets. (My favorite is LEGO’s red Roses.) I was surprised at how organic and curvy these flowers look without using many specialized parts. And I absolutely love the textured yellow centers — just like a lotus flower! That pointed,…

LEGO Orchid green color variation
My LEGO Orchid is one of my favorite botanical sets, so when I spotted the pieces in a bulk buy from an online thrift store, I decided to build a different color variation: white and green! (Lime or yellowish green petals with white center parts are more common, but I’m working with the part colors…

LEGO set: Bird of Paradise (10289)
The bird of paradise isn’t one of my favorite plants, so I was a little surprised at how much I love the botanical LEGO set version! (Not to mention nice part usage like the dark purple fencing foils in the flowers.)The potted brick-built plant has an architectural elegance I find beautiful, and the scale is…

how I built new colors of LEGO’s poppy
Building new colors of flowers from LEGO’s Botanicals sets was a great stepping stone to building my own MOCs, and it’s still a small project I really enjoy! Since it took me a while to figure out how to go from building a LEGO set to building something new, here’s how I recolored the orange Poppy…

Goth flowers for spooky season!
Happy Halloween! I built some recolored LEGO flowers for a little goth arrangement: red and black poppies (from the Flower Bouquet set); a gray rose (from the Flower Bouquet set); a black rose (from the Roses set); and a pearl gold lavender and cornflower (from the Wildflowers set). I also borrowed the dark green ferns…

To celebrate more than 500 votes of support for my Winter Ice Flowers project on LEGO’s Ideas platform, here’s a recolored version of the pink umbrella flowers in the original build — this time in transparent purple and green! Which one do you prefer? For this version, I also rebuilt the white stem with the…
