Mosaics
Our specialty is in converting photographics into LEGO® Brick Mosiacs.
The Process
At Pix In Brix we will help you to build a customized mosaic kit that fits your needs. To make a completed mosaic, there are many steps including:
- Photography – choosing the right photograph is key to making a good mosiac. We can help you take the perfect photo (inquire for details), or select an appropriate one.
- Designing a Blueprint – Our Brick Plans can take on many forms. Areas can be printed in color to aid assembly, or filled in with color numbers to make it more of a surprise. Plans can be printed at many sizes, and make a good second memento of the gift.
- Purchasing Bricks – lets us buy your bricks for you, or buy them yourself on the open market. You will always be provided with a parts list.
- Packaging the Ingredients – we can also make a custom presentation kit, perfect for gift-giving.
- Assembling Your Mosaic – All told, assembling the final mosaic can be a long and arduous task. We find that assembling it is the most satisfying part of the whole project. We can also come on-site and assemble your kit as part of a promotional or corporate event.
