Very cool. (Really. I can feel the grain of the bricks)

Now a few points:
* where is the mortar ? (for halloween, the mortar was made of icing
sugar... all leached... ;-) )
 (more seriously, there is about 10 geometry for the mortar, each with a
purpose or a usage:

http://www.bontool.com/knowledge_center/KC_Mortar_Joints.asp

and do not ask how & why I know that page!)

* too much random variation of colours: colour of bricks came from the
temperature in the oven, nearby bricks in the oven get the same kind of
colour... and nearby bricks in the oven ends up as nearby bricks in the
package... then nearby bricks in the package ends up on the same row or
nearby rows (unless you are a Netherlander, in which case you might have
a white package and a red package to pick from in order to make some
motifs).

* no burning remains on each bricks... too uniform colour of each bricks
