jigsaw wall
sets of different shaped bricks come in a box and when put together in the right way completes a picture on your new wall. | |
inside or out, all-weather bricks for your new wall. order the size wall you require from the manufacturer and specify the nature of your picture, tonal quality and preferred colours to match your décor. the set comes with enough mortar to complete the wall.
word of warning, there is only one right
place for each piece in the picture.
it is possible that you may like to invite friends over to help “do the puzzle” – make a party of it.
these jigsaw walls give the DIYer the entertainment of putting together the picture, the pleasure of a job well done, and a completed piece of art to enjoy for years to come.

How big a scale we talkin' here? |
|
| |
how big do you want thumb? size is not a major issue here, but you may prefer to start small - lets not be ambitious. |
|
| |
I want a really challenging puzzle, like a picture of a brick wall. |
|
| |
Well, would the pieces be regular puzzle size, or jumbo size? |
|
| |
regular brick size, my dear. any other *size* questions? |
|
| |
Don't use quick setting mortar |
|
| |
In earthquake zones some cultures developed jigsaw architecture that allowed the building to jiggle a bit, rather than collapse, during earthquakes. Pick the right mortar and you could have a wall that might survive the "big one". |
|
| |
could I not interest anyone in the "Raising of Lazurus" or something by Escher? |
|
| |
mind-bender... that's just another challenge level. |
|
| |
Is there a house somewhere where the stone masonry was put together to form a crude mosaic? It seems like an obvious idea, its probably baked somewhere. |
|
| |
[po] I will have four Escher walls please. |
|
| |
do you want the full Moebius loop? |
|
| |
Can I have a wall with a picture of the pile of bricks in the Tate ?
This could be done on a huge scale, canary wharf with a Davinci picked out in faithfully colour matched bricks. On the other hand with the average brickie it might end up looking more like a Picasso. |
|
| |
I like this a lot, I'll definitely take a few Escher walls. My problem is that I tend to put bookcases everywhere and that would obscure the wonderful pictures. |
|
| |
UB, how long could you stand a Mondrian wall? How about Turner or Fred McCubbin. I'd really like excerpts from the Book of Kells, that'd look cool. |
|
| |
Put me down for one Taj-ma-Wall. |
|
| |
I don't think I could finish a puzzle that I could only do from the ground up. I'd want to do the borders first. |
|
| |
I'm with you Cedar, I do the borders first... unless it's an ages 2-3 puzzle... those I can do without borders first... |
|
| |
I think I'd build it flat in my yard (and possibly the neighbour's yard... or the school yard) and then install it in my house. Actually, I could sit on the roof & holler commands down to "worker bees" telling them where to put each brick... yeah... and then I can take all the glory for a job well done! |
