July 8, 2025

Ever wonder how a pile of tiny LEGO-compatible bricks becomes a piece of art worthy of your wall? At BrickForm, every mosaic follows a creative journey, from the very first idea to the final click of the last stud. Here’s a behind the scenes look at how we turn simple bricks into stunning mosaics.

💡 Step 1: The Concept

Every great mosaic starts with inspiration. Sometimes it’s a famous symbol, a favorite place, or even a custom request from a client. We sketch ideas digitally first, making sure they will translate beautifully into brick-based pixel art.

📐 Step 2: Planning & Color Selection

Once the concept is set, we plan out the design on a baseplate grid. This is where the color magic happens, we carefully choose a palette of LEGO and LEGO-compatible bricks that bring depth, shading, and personality to the mosaic.

🧱 Step 3: Laying the Bricks

Here is where the real fun begins. Brick by brick, the design takes shape. Each stud clicks into place, creating satisfying rows of color. This part takes patience and precision, and a good playlist doesn’t hurt either.

🖼️ Step 4: Securing & Displaying

Once the final stud is clicked into place, the piece is carefully secured for durability. Each mosaic is cleaned, inspected, and prepared for display, whether it’s headed for a gallery wall, a gift box, or your favorite shelf.
