Mudguard Flower

 

Here's one of the "quilt" pattern sampler squares I made for Pasco Brick Convention, as discussed earlier.

Apparently those white things are called mudguards? I knew they went over tires originally, and then over windows. I just have them sorted away in the box labeled "strange arches", which apparently includes other mudguards which I though were arches, like this one:

The first thing I wanted to make for the Pasco Brick Convention actually used those arches-- excuse me. mudguards. I was going to make a flower with petals like this.... or this... or this.... :

And I still might some day. I don't have any in-focus photos of the slopes to put on the ends of the petals to make them less chunky, but I had a plan. But creativity is strange and takes you from one place to another without any care for how you might feel about it. I might get back to it someday. Maybe.

But then I got on a tangent of playing with the shorter, taller mudguards. But I really don't have enough pieces to make anything too substantial. I think a future bricklink order will include some.

So many possibilities. I just need some more, I guess.
