AQ’s xmas puzzle
Check out the beautiful hand-painted art! Art by Ash Quilter. With cats, totally up my alley. (-:
Vancouver Island (Pacific Puzzle Co)
Beautiful map puzzle from Pacific Puzzle Co., Vancouver Island Map, 465 pieces, 12×16″. I really loved the image — playful marine mammals! an octopus! trees! — and the cut was fun. This map had lots of distinguishable text and image chunks. The ocean came together fairly quickly, and I finished the island itself last. Description: […]

Ammonite by Nervous System
I had so much fun with this one! Ash and I (and even Michele) worked on it on Sunday and I carefully transported it back home, reassembled the parts that didn’t make it, panicked because I forgot there were a lot of pieces still in the box, and finished it off today. Fun! 117 pieces, […]
“Sanctuary” (PuzzleMonk)
Another lovely little hand-cut jigsaw via Hoefnagel, this one from PuzzleMonk, out of Wisconsin. 162 pieces, paired with the midcentury xmas poodle I finished yesterday. Trying to track down more info about the art, I found that it has been used in other puzzles — here, for instance, a 750 piece puzzle from “Crystals & […]

small midcentury poodle christmas handcut
This was an adorable small (79 pieces, approximate postcard dimensions) handcut puzzle from Hoefnagel, labeled “mystery hand-cut puzzle”. No image came with it, but it assembled easily, with good chunks of color. The image was of course right up my alley — midcentury modern with a poodle! Plus, seasonally appropriate. I wish I knew who […]
Darcie Reflected by Daria Hlazatova (Liberty)
“Darcie Reflected”, image by Daria Hlazatova, puzzle by Liberty — big puzzle! 607 pieces, 19×12.75″. This was from Hoefnagel …. Boy, this puzzle really kicked my ass. Red, and black, and lots of eyes … and mirrored (not exactly) left to right. Lots of fun whimsies — various human figurals, bats, snakes, and of course […]

Firefly Party eeboo mini
eeboo mini “Firefly Party“, Ash and Michele.
Wentworth Japanese Maple mini
Such a pretty image, this “Japanese Maple” (art by Moises Levy) from Wentworth. Ash and I knocked off the 40-piece version in just a few minutes, and appreciated the tree-themed whimsies as well as the art. I wanted to find out more about the artist and these works — photograph, digitally manipulated, I guess? His […]
Papercut Partridge
From Puzzle Lab, “Papercut Patridge”, a winter scene puzzle based on art (“Journey to the Light”) by Morgana Wallace. Lots of line-cutting made this one pretty challenging. Description: Take off into a dreamy holiday winterscape as you piece together this intricate line-cut puzzle featuring a festive papercut piece by Victoria-based artist Morgana Wallace. Morgana’s medium […]
