Cube houses are a set of innovative houses built in Rotterdam and Helmond in the Netherlands, designed by architect Piet Blom and based on the concept of "living as an urban roof": high density housing with sufficient space on the ground level, since its main purpose is to optimise the space inside. Blom tilted the cube of a conventional house 45 degrees, and rested it upon a hexagon-shaped pylon. His design represents a village within a city, where each house represents a tree, and all the houses together, a forest. The central idea of the cube houses around the world is mainly optimizing the space, as a house, to a better distribution of the rooms inside.
I came across a tutorial by Colin Smith on making a photo cube in Photoshop. I decided to try it using recent polka dot macros. You have already seen the top and right side photos, and I have since done the photo that comprises the front view.
Following the instructions was pretty easy although me being me, I got the left side a little out of whack. But hey, it's a process. Right?
The tutorial is here, but it does require a somewhat up-to-date version of Photoshop, one that has the 3D options. There is a video plus step-by-step instructions at that site.

A view of some of the striking Cube Houses found in Rotterdam.
There is actually a 'show cube' you can visit, for a modest fee...and I did so on my previous visit to the city (in 2002).
You can see other my other shots of The Netherlands in (unsurprisingly) my The Netherlands set.
The Cube has 6 different colourful mosaics on its sides and combines a lot of the things that I love: Lego (obviously), geometric shapes, colours, mosaics and patterns and finally some logic and maths.

It was a very fun and satisfying build and it makes me so happy just looking at it.
So a friend asked if there was any Lego sets with a Canadian theme. Off the top of my head I couldn't think of any. So I built a Mountie Cube Dude

I've always liked the idea of building my own Cube Dude, but never had any real inspiration. After browsing several on Flickr I decided to create a Deathstroke styled Cube Dude! I'm really happy with how it turned out.
Thoughts?
The countless hours I have lost submersed in the depths of my mind whilst spinning and flicking this rubiks cube into place is amazing. However I had never once stopped to admire how much a real feat of engineering they are and with some additional contrast in lighting quite interesting to photograph.
THREE CUBES CUBED = 27
taken for Saturday Self Challenge 07/09/2019 - a shot of something that is a cube .
Well an OXO cube is a fairly iconic cube if ever there was !
Oxo is a brand of food products, including stock cubes, herbs and spices, dried gravy, and yeast extract. The original product was the beef stock cube, and the company now also markets chicken and other flavour cubes, including versions with Chinese and Indian spices. The cubes are broken up and used as flavouring in meals or gravy or dissolved into boiling water.
In the United Kingdom, the OXO brand belongs to Premier Foods. In South Africa, the Oxo brand is owned and manufactured by Mars, Incorporated and in Canada is owned and manufactured by Knorr. Its spelling is trademarked as capital letters: OXO.
An unrelated kitchen-utensils business, owned by Helen of Troy Limited, also has rights to the OXO name.
To take the shot I stuck a flat head nail into one corner so it would stand on one corner , placed on a LED light box ( usually used for parchment work ) . The resulting shot of the OXO cube was put into Serif Craftartist and made into three on a black background and then the remaining 24 cubes ( slightly smaller to enhance the three main ones ) were added to arrive at 27 !
Now for sight and sound I had to post a series of adverts that ran back in the day when adverts were adverts and the OXO family ads were quite a thing back in the day ( hands up those who remember them ) , so a very short compilation of a few of them . Oh , and the dad in the ads was a regular customer at one of the dry cleaners where I worked but not at my branch .
Thanks in advance for any comments and faves , I will be away from the computer for a few days .
GRRRRR!!!!
