One more rule should be.

Just a joke. I try do new one.

I think that’s fair

One question Lisa, can we use non Lego elements too? I was thinking of string or chain to attach the Lego to

Controversial!

Maybe if the jewellery itself is one single Lego construction, then you can use string to tie it around yourself, but I don't think you should allow string where the string would hold multiple pieces of loose Lego together.

Of course there's always official Lego string, anything goes with that :D

One for the boys ,although as good as technic is it's not trampolineable, mainly technic pins and connections and Lloyds wheels ,again courtesy of binlego

Post by: John on March 13, 2021, 12:41 pm
More brick orientated but still technic holding it together, jumper plates giving the offset but holding fairly tight. Not a complete loop as it squeezes more like a bangle than bracelet

Great entries so far John!!

@wallyjarek - Previous builds are okay - but  a competition is always a good excuse to build something new!!

@Patrick - Using a string is okay if it's holding something made out of Lego!!

Looking good John! Mine will have to wait until after the parade. Which reminds me, do you have cabs, 6 wide, that will pull 5 or 6 trailers in your bin LEGO?!?! I think my floats might have to have horses attached!!

Post by: John on March 14, 2021, 11:19 pm
Parade didn't get the go ahead for today... so 17th it'll be! There's 4 sweet boxes of John Snow lego ,but a great master builder would do well to cobble together anything from all the themes that those bricks originated. My minifig collection status counts over 600 ,but that's a parade for when I'm retired

Romance for ard eads ,choose between a Glasgow kiss or this . It's equally as comfortable as walking in it ,and if no-one else makes some jewellery this may be called into action

This is my last piece , didn't want a foot photo but it's more an anklet, made from rescued legs from my nephews mishmash
Title: Re: COMPETITION - Create a Piece of Jewellery!
Post by: Tom a.k.a. eastawat on April 16, 2021, 09:44 am
That's my favourite! I might yet enter this competition but I don't see how it can be possible to top an anklet made of legs :D :D :D

Do like my nephew did and pull out the hands and rip off the  arms , the guys in Nam didn't see this much carnage! If I had more gold parts combined with trans coloured parts some actually nice jewellery could be fashioned

I'm going to have to do this one digitally. Can you use colours which are unavailable for a particular piece?

Thanks!

 if it can be made ,make it, but don't be hung up on colour unless you're going into the jewellery business too!

We recently got a ladybird minifig which inspired the bracelet.

Is that digital ,or did you brickit? Trying to deconstruct it to see what pieces and the connection ,also looking to see if it's an easy open

It’s digital. I used the 1x2 rounded plates. It was tricky to get the angles right.

Dark jewellery ,printed tiles are a great finish , unlike stickers -even if put on perfectly look dodgy. A piratey theme or ancient artifact feel, Noice job

Great work, David. The Guns n Roses bracelet is my favourite one.
