Fifteen Donuts
Amanda and I stumbled accross a sale at Toys ‘R’ Us the other day. It wasn’t the famed 3033 that I miss so much, but it wasn’t too bad of a set. It was another blue LEGO tub and it was buy one get one free, so we got ten or so. The only possibly redeeming quality of this set was that it contained a lot of weird colors that I didn’t already posses. What to do with these crazy colors… Ah! How about a Kandinsky rip-off?
I designed the circles on my handy brick paper and we started building the squares separately. Actually, Amanda did most of the work.
I decided to try a different approach to hanging this time and it seems to be working out very well. If you can’t tell in the picture below, that metal piece is from one of those binder clips that I slightly bent and fed through a small hole drilled into the LEGO piece. When you let go, it springs out and catches on the inside, holding it in place.
The great thing about this method is that you don’t have to think about it as you’re building and plan ahead for. You just measure from both sides and drill a hole. Simple.
