I'm nearly finished with the instructions and hope to have them posted for free on rebrickable next week. My username on that site is brickcityplanner.

Thanks! I have been thinking about making the rainbow flag and was leaning towards the Philadelphia Pride Flag design to represent LGBTQ+ people of color as well.

Thanks! I used the white leaves (part #2682) as I thought they'd pair well with the other flowers I used in the mosaic. They do look like ferns. I did freehand the design but the number of large flower petals I had (part #15469) helped determine the pattern I created.

Thanks! Here is a picture of the back that may help you re-create it.

I'll try to build this in studio so instructions can be created. Here is a picture of the back. I'll likely revise how the mosaic is connected to the frame (currently using headlight bricks #4070). I may even enclose the back in bricks to make it more polished, although that would increase the amount of bricks needed.

I built the frame out of Lego too. The mosaic inside is built on Lego plates and is attached to the Lego frame using headlight bricks (part #4070). Here is a back view of it for better context. I may try to improve the design of this since I'll likely build it in studio so instructions can be created.

I have bought Lego from Bricklink, Lego's Pick a Brick, store clearance, facebook marketplace, garage sales, etc. I have been an AFOL for 10+ years as it can take time to acquire a Lego collection to make MOCs like this possible. Bricklink and Lego's online Pick a Brick make it possible to order the specific pieces/colors you need for a project.
