My original bricks were fairly small (child-sized); brightly matt coloured on one surface; with the photographic images applied randomly. At tutorials it was suggested that the bricks should be bigger; should be painted all over (the grain on the bricks interferred with the images overlaid on them) in more 'sophisticated' colours and that the images should be applied to completely cover one side of the brick.
I am currently working on these issues:
I quite like the colours I have chosen - each brick takes two coats of (commercial) paint and I think I will need them to dry thoroughly. I will then sand and reapply two coats of paint. I have a variety of wooden bricks, the larger of which can be held in the hand of an adult. At the moment I have printed the images onto clear plastic and then applied to the bricks but I am also thinking that I could apply the images through permanent marker or through screen printing.
