Legos are known for their versatility. Even so, sometimes people’s ingenuity stops me short.
For example, Finnish Lego enthusiast Satu Aaltonen created a wearable bridal outfit. Her project is called Bride of the Frozen Crown and it garnered her an invitation to the Lego House Masterpiece Gallery in Denmark.
The Masterpiece Gallery is entirely devoted to fan-built artistry. Apparently, only about a hundred makers have been invited to participate during the Gallery’s existence. Aaltonen is the second Finn and the first Finnish woman to gain an invitation.
Modeling the gown in these photos is Aaltonen’s daughter Nelli Turunen. The build contains no glue—of course—and took thousands of bricks to complete. Very appropriately, the Legos make a slight rustly, rattly noise reminiscent of walking on ice, says Aaltonen.
Wow…! And I mean WOW!
The colors and the details are staggering. It must take a thorough knowledge of the variety of blocks to make something as delicate as this dress and its accessories. And, as if the intricate design is not enough, the dress is fully wearable. (Apparently one side is openable for putting the dress on.)
I’m seriously impressed!
