Birdy pick of the week: Amazing British birds in LEGO
I'm kicking myself for not getting this post up earlier last week, when I first saw these incredible LEGO creations. Apparently they've hit the papers in Britain, but I'm hoping that they're still news to some Aussie readers. Besides - they're too beautiful to ignore as a Birdy of the Week.
The brainchild of LEGO and bird enthusiast Thomas Poulsom, the series of six British birds (including Bobby Robin, Kingsley Kingfisher, Billy Blue Tit, Penelope Puffin, Gloria Goldfinch and Woody Woodpecker) were made using the only LEGO bricks he had on hand.
Thomas's goal is to get enough supporters for them to become official LEGO products - so if you love them please do give them your tick of approval here. He needs 10,000 supporters and so far he's got 571 votes (when I first heard about them last week, he only had 17 votes). Vote, vote, vote! (please!)
