Stave, Purrsian Rug
Beautiful cat and Persian rug puzzle from Stave, via Hoefnagel — “Purrsian Rug” (art by Candy Thun), 100-piece trick puzzle. Not the typical puzzle — you can’t solve from the image, because there are multiple identical connectors, and if you assemble to make a continuous image, you can’t assemble the pieces into a single continuous […]
Vintage Halloween, Bits & Pieces
Ash and I did a 500-piece Bits & Pieces, “Vintage Halloween”, “Finchley Paper Arts” — are these vintage-style Halloween images? or actual vintage images assembled from the public domain? Hmm. Anyway, it was a fun puzzle to do.
W-Woman, Romi Lerda, Magnolia
Really enjoyed this 1000-piece Magnolia puzzle, “W-Woman“, by Romi Lerda. I think this is my first Magnolia puzzle? It was really excellent — my only complaint was a few false fits. Otherwise, sturdy, and the pieces felt really good in the hand. It was listed as 3 out of 5 stars of difficulty (5 being […]
Ready for Prom, Kerri Ambrosino, Bits & Pieces
Ash and I knocked off a 500-piece “Bits & Pieces” puzzle, “Ready for Prom“, art by Kerri Ambrosino. We loved the art (her other art at Etsy also looks awesome), & the irregular cut was fun; but it was a little challenging in that false fits were relatively easy on the solid, non-patterned parts of […]
Manniquin by Susan Brabeau, SunsOut
This 1000 piece puzzle from SunsOut, “Manniquin”, art by Susan Brabeau, is so hilarious to me. It wasn’t a hard puzzle exactly, although there were a lot of (a) lace; (b) blue fabric; and (c) dark red wood / cloth. The 26″ x 26″ size does NOT fit on my board — this is the […]
Vibrant Village, CraftHub
I ordered a bunch of puzzles from “PuzzlesUp”, which was closing, and it turned out they were all labeled “CraftHub”. Hmm. Anyway, I liked the image. The pieces were pretty interlocking. This puzzle is called “Vibrant Village”.
Whisker’s Spell, Adolfo Valle, Lighthouse
Ash and I finished a Lighthouse Puzzles puzzle today, the adorable “Whisker’s Spell” by Adolfo Valle.
Alchemist’s Library, Vasilisa Romanenko, eeBoo
Enjoyed this eeBoo 1000-piece puzzle, “Alchemist’s Library“, art by Vasilisa Romanenko. eeBoo: Alchemist’s Library, 1000 piece square jigsaw puzzle. The next installment in Artist Vasilisa Romanenko’s Alchemist Series. A meticulous glimpse into the life and home of a mysterious alchemist filled with books, portraits and scientific detail. I really enjoyed this puzzle — the cozy […]
River Otter, Adolfo Valle, Lighthouse Puzzles
“River Otter” by Adolfo Valle, a 62-piece puzzle, 5.6″ x 6.25″, from Lighthouse Puzzles.
