Cast building blocks

My own cast blocks (done before visiting MRJ) were partially successful, though 3 out of 4 have cracked at the corners. Maybe this 'baby-sitting' idea has some merit. I like the effect of the pate de verre inclusions -- though after a useful session talking to Max Jacquard about them, I feel I could be more subtle in my approach. Limit the colour palette so it's more monochrome -- as in my working drawing; and more painterly as well. All based on my own spinal injury. I think I have a few more ideas, though, about widening out the possibilities.
