Depends on how you pile the bricks. I can see me with a lovely brick
patio made from Fred's multi-colored, assorted composition bricks. I
can see me with planters made from Fred's bricks. I can see me with a
wall made from Fred's bricks.
I can see me enjoying any and all of the above in my yard - and I
don't really care what you call it. I call it fun.

Hi Deb, all,
But as for Bricks, the old Babylonians used to lay up often enough ( but
not always ) quite tidy Walls of Brick, and, by whatever means, have some o=
f
the Bricks formed or added to or moulded so when combined, they would make
images or forms of Animals and other things in relief.
I think this is very appealing and I admire them for it.
Here is one such image, hastily got on 'google' -

Make it two such images -

And a third -

I do not know if the latter image is of Glazed Bricks, or Painted...but, it
is awefully charming ( to me anyway ).
