It&#8217;s not a box of LEGO\u00ae brand interlocking building blocks that we dumped onto the floor and then very precisely made into a spaceship. The LEGO\u00ae brand interlocking building blocks that <em>we<\/em> used were <em>paper and ink.<\/em> Any <em>meaning<\/em> that they have been given is meaning that <em>we have fabricated.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I think that&#8217;s an excellent sentiment which all crafters should take to heart.  Don&#8217;t be afraid to branch out from premade kits and make something that&#8217;s entirely your own.
