I hope you watched the video Babara…did you…? Unbelievable when they move. I hope you are well!
Reminds me of the wooden sculpture on the roof top garden at the Met in NYC that was on exhibit last summer.
just wonderful!
uniquely creative.
would love to see future videos.
my thanks for sharing this wonderful work.

WOW! I can’t wait for my kids to see this one! Legos on steroids!!
I haven’t even watched the video yet, but would have expected something pithy about the trojan horse… or Ellen of Troy! Cannot wait to see the video, cause I already like what I see!
