The girls were given a craft kit from Ikea as a christmas present. It is made from the PYSSLA beads kit. You set all the beads on a little frame, put some wax paper on top a little pass with a iron, Viola!
Raw material
I immediately saw the ability to make little pictures pixel by pixel.
Laying out the beautiful masterpiece (McKelvey drew a flower on the grid paper for me)
And a flower for Arden & McKelvey
You can get even fancier by using something to help you layout your pixel art, like Photoshop. I used Pixelego.(link using the Archive.org ‘wayback machine’)
Up for the future:
Did you create the Barack Obama picture with Pixelego? If so, how did you make it so it was top down on the legos instead of from the side (as if the legos were stacked on top of each other)?
I want to create my own lego mosaics but I can’t make Pixelego do the top down thing.
