@socalbricks So cool you managed to get the vampire bassist!  The employees at your LEGO Store seem to be great!

On a different note, Alrune really shouldn't be faulting her uncle for being a "connoisseur"! 

Oh well, he can brew all he wants, just not with lab equipment! 

@Robert8 Oh wow, thank you so much! 

[Aurore]

Day 13 - Grandmother Frost

Dresghar: "Legends from the north say that a kind old lady is wandering at night in the frozen forests, bringing presents to well-mannered children."

[socalbricks]

Lovely colors! I especially like how you used the Vidiyo Dragon Singer torso, the light aqua hair (I need to BrickLink one of those), and the staff construction! 

[Aurore]

@socalbricks Thank you very much! I absolutely love the Dragon Singer torso, it's so detailed and magical.

Day 14 - Sword in Stone

Alrune "A showy sword, embedded in a stone. Such a cliché!" 
Evrart: "No-one has had the arthurisation to draw it, I guess?"
Alrune: "What?"
Avrart: "Oh, nevermind…"

[Eyrezer]

The pun is the highlight of this build! But the use of the quarter circle tiles to create the gap for the sword is also clever.

Wow that is perfection!

LOL

[socalbricks]

I'll second what Eyrezer said - clever use of those quarter tiles!

Kudos to Evrart for that pun as well! He saw an opportunity and he took it! 

[Aurore]

@Eyrezer Thank you! I have to admit I indeed first thought of the pun, then made the build... 

@Robert8 Thank you very much!

@socalbricks Thank you! That's too bad for Evrart than puns usually completely pass Alrune by.

Day 15 - Fairy Fire Mushrooms

Alrune: "That's just giant bioluminescent fungi inhabited by sprites. Nothing magical."

[Aurore]

Day 16 - Festive Grog and his snow goblin

Dresghar: "Sometimes, I really wonder whether our guards are goblin soldiers, or just ugly, silly, colorful kids."

I love the pixie and the mushroom! The burger bun top works great especially with the all white stalk. Will it make it into your flairs and fauna guide?
 

The goblin is cute too! What made you settle on the purple colour? Unorthodox but vibrant.

[Robert8]

That torso fits perfectly for the goblin, and the snowman looks a little evil, but it fits

 

[Aurore]

@Eyrezer Thank you so much! The mushroom stalks are actually all glow-in-dark (I should have taken the photo in the dark... ). It will indeed probably make it to the flora guide. And the goblin's color...well, I really love this head. It has evil-but-cute expressions that fit perfectly for the personality I envision for Grog.

@Robert8 Thank you very much!

[Aurore]

Day 17 - Ice Crystal

Alrune: "It's child's play to grow such crystals, no magic required. All it takes is common household supplies and a bit of patience."
Dresghar: "Oh golly, honey, stop being such a killjoy! It's bewitching and poetic and that's all that matters."

[Kai NRG]

Great combination there to make that crystal!  Also the snow goblin was really clever. 

[jtooker]

More great little creations!  Thanks for the consistent posting.

Love the clever usage of that hamburger bun! Eyrezer has a good eye; I wouldn't have recognized it had they not pointed it out!

Love that devilish snowman! I also really like the torso you used for Grog. I don't recognize it - where is it from?

Day 17 - Ice Crystal

I like how the crystal looks like it's "branching out" - that pedestal base looks great as well!

[Robert8]

It also works as a frozen fountain

[Aurore]

@Kai NRG Thank you! I have experimented several versions of the snow goblin - only to choose the simplest one (which also was the cutest one in my opinion )

@jtooker Thank you! Today's post is a little late, but now that I'm back home it should go on smoothly! 

@socalbricks Thank you very much! Grog's torso is from the LOTR Radagast minifig (the torso is partly hidden behind the beard...)

@Robert8 You, sir, have some kind of gift of clairvoyance!

Day 18 - Wishing Fountain

Evrart: "A wishing fountain, really? I did not know you had that kind of romantic stuff in Embervale, my lady."
Alrune: "The wishing part is pure superstition, of course. But I have to admit it - I do find this fountain cute."

Oh 

Great build! Love the bird statue at the top

[zoth33]

Just catching up on these now.  Some great figs and little builds here.  I like the goblin and snowman, the fountain is nice, the fairy fire mushroom is one of my favorites so far with the contrast in colors of the sprite and the mushrooms.  There are some very creative designs too like the albemic and the pyromancy.  Great job so far.

I would love to see a glow in the dark pic of that 🍄!

The foundation and ice crystals are nice. I made crystals like that as a kid. A very festive touch!
