Searching for your lost ball in waist high grass can be a real bummer. The grass-mania continues! Now with some untamed, tall grass, made by utilising the ever so useful 16770 – Barb / Claw / Horn – Large with Clip. Probably not the most versatile grass technique, but it could prove useful in certain…
Since my last grass technique was a bit too unkempt to make a nice football field, I tried out some other pieces to see if I could come up with something neater 🙂 This is basically made from two elements: 32828 – Bar 1L with 1 x 1 Round Plate with Hollow Stud 30126 –…
Hello everyone! Decided to make a tutorial covering another technique from my Element Experimentation series. This time I will describe how to make wavy grass from plumes. We’ll be making a small 4×4 plate with grass just to show how the technique works, but this can easily be expanded to fit your needs. The technique…
There are few things that can compare to the dazzling show of vivid colors that is the autumn foliage. This is definitely the most detailed 8×8 build I’ve ever made. The star of the show here is the 13564 – Cattle Horn – Long in Reddish Brown. When I ordered it I knew I wanted…

Next in line for my elements experimentation is: 2417 – Plant Leaves 6 x 5 in White Another pretty straight forward piece. Snow covered trees? Yes, please! I feel this color works wonderfully with this technique 🙂 What I like most is the possibility to layer green leaves under the white ones, like a real…
Receiving bricks is always an interesting experience. Lately I have received quite a few new bricks, both from orders where I have chosen the pieces, but also a number of random pieces which, in many cases, I have no idea what to do with. And even for some of the ordered elements I’m still not…
Hello everyone! In my previous tutorial I showed how to build a spruce out of lego. The trees build using that technique can have a varied size, but even at its smallest the trees will still be quite big. So what to do if you want a smaller tree? Have no fear! In this tutorial…
Hello everyone! This is a tutorial showing how to build a spruce with lego utilising weaving of leaf elements to get an organic, natural looking effect. I came up with this design while building a nature build for a competition, and have since had quite a few requests for a tutorial on this technique. So…
