Inspiration: Vintage Mosaic Blocks

I went to my favorite vintage shop yesterday and found German wooden “mosaic” blocks, colored on each side with different triangles of color. Making different patterns with them has proven addictive! They seem to be some sort of vintage educational toy, but, I think they are a nice way to jump start creativity.

A bit of research found beautiful modern versions (2nd image) and other vintage variations (3rd image).

    Cool! Love how worn they are, they seem good quality. What are you going to do with them, will you display them somehow?
