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.

This was blogged by Dunechaser at The Brothers Brick, but it didn’t ping me with a trackback so I’m posting a comment with the link.
Stupid Blogspot. Great work, Bill and Holly!
“Good creatures…” may be the smallest vignette ever.
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.
