It was turning into a bit of a headache. I couldn't get the molds right with the undercuts and kept breaking the test casts. Then I discovered that the shape I was using wasn't 100% and would cause the bricks to not fit perfectly together even if I got the molds to work. So, I started from scratch and did all the design in the computer (previously was just using paper and pencil). I think I have a base shape that works perfectly and am probably going to send it off to a 3d printer to have an original made to make the molds from. I'll worry about this next summer since winter is approaching. Thanks for your interest! I took a bit of a break from it. It was turning into a bit of a headache.

I'm curious to see the finished product and could not find it in the later archives of your blog. ~Miguel Did you ever get the sidewalk/driveway finished with the Escher tiles?
