There are some things that truly inspire. They can make you create a whole room just for them. And recently I found one in Russian social site. In one of the groups I saw a post about miniature bricks with lots of photos, and I was blown away. It’s hard to find an artisan in Russia who creates such complicated things (I’m speaking about technology and process involved) from scratch.
I loved the bricks and instantly wanted to buy them though I had no idea how I could use them, besides I’m making furniture mostly, not roomboxes (sigh). Minutes later I decided to make some sort of decoration for one of my items for Christmas Kensington Festival. I ordered 2kg of bricks.

Dmitry, an artisan who makes these bricks, was also very kind, he sent me bricks of another scale too (1/9) and half-bricks. Look how cool they are:

Lots of photos below:

The quality is amazing! And these bricks that cut in half, wow, super cool! You don’t need to cut them manually,so the process of making a wall will be fast.

Here are 1/12 scale bricks and 1/9 scale:

They look very realistic! And the color is amaaazing!

I have a very old post about making, no
making faux bricks in miniature. It’s still very popular among my visitors, and you can see how much time and nerves I wasted making these gypsum bricks. So who knows, maybe, I’d have finished the house if I had these bricks back then.

Well, this is how I made my decoration. I used MDF panels 3mm and 5 mm. The floor – oak parquetry. So the whole idea was to make some sort of modern mix: loft and classical.
