By Master Model Builder Sean of LEGO Discovery Center Boston  

This LEGO mosaic was created with over 5000 elements over the course of one week. Sean started the design digitally, finding an image of a cow with it’s tongue out and then transposing that into a LEGO form. Sean started by building out the cow, then made final design tweaks like shifting the entire design up to be more centered and give space for an ice cream cone. Master Model Builder Kari started the design for the cone, and Sean created the layered look of the syrup, sprinkles, and drip of melted ice cream on the frame. To make the background more interesting, Sean added small LEGO tile elements in a diagonal pattern. Finally, every piece was removed and adhered together individually.
