BellArt Angel Maze Fish
Weird story. I got this BellArt puzzle from Hoefnagel, and then Ash and I did it — part of it — and then apparently I put the box on the top of the car? and it fell out? and someone found all the pieces (but two) and the box and put the puzzle together, and […]
Liminal, United Aloha
A travel poster from United Airlines, featuring Hawaii, and a lot of delightful Hawaiian themed whimsies, including some with etchings on the back. A nice pairing with the Hello Fairytale “Five O’Clock Somewhere” puzzle, in the Hoefnagel pack. Ash, Michele, and I all worked on it, so a family affair. Probably public domain art ….
Exploding Kittens, Great Wave off Catagawa
Ash worked on this one ….
Tree Tales, 5 assorted puzzles
Five small tray puzzles, unpainted, snuggle-style — each one with a theme. Snails (that one was hard!), elephants, birds (two different puzzles), ocean …. The tag on the back links to https://skazkidereva.ru/ , a Russian children’s wood toy store. I believe this must be lasercut, based on the etchings and very faint scorch marks most […]
Puzzlapy, Fish Bowl
One of two cute cat puzzles from Puzzlapy, via Hoefnagel.
DaVici mini puzzle assortment
Via Hoefnagel, a double pack of multiple mini puzzles. There were 6 DaVici mini puzzles: two shaped blue cats, and three “scenes” (there’s a second copy of one of them, for a total of four). Two little shaped cats (blue) plus three unique square puzzles — one a rotund cat laying on a flowerbed, a […]
CraftHub owl
Another CraftHub puzzle, this one an owl, which we all enjoyed!
Par Puzzle, Starbucks
Ash and I started this one (April 21), but didn’t have quite enough time to finish! We were so close — just a lot of little white pieces to assemble. Finished it today, April 24. With a lot of help from Pablo! Par Puzzles, a special “Starbucks” themed puzzle, available in New York from Starbucks, […]
Eklektik Beat Blocks
Via Hoefnagel, an acrylic puzzle from Eklektik. (Why I thought it was “elektik” I don’t know …)
BCB, Hat Shoppe snuggle puzzle
Boy, I am terrible at these puzzles where you just snuggle a bunch of pieces together, and they sort of ambiguously fit together, in the subtlest of ways …. Hoefnagel sent me a pack with the Chris Yates puzzle and this BCB “Hat Shoppe” puzzle. I was able to (correctly) assemble quite a few sets […]
Chris Yates, Remote Archipelago
Courtesy of a Hoefnagel pack, a little wooden semi-representational puzzle of islands by Chris Yates. Hoefnagel says: 61 pieces, hand-cut, there is no picture on the box, but we can tell you this little puzzle was inspired by the idea of a remote archipelago, and the puzzle does not have a printed image, rather the […]
CobbPodgery, WPA poster
Courtesy of the Hoefnagle wooden puzzle club, a hand-cut puzzle from CobbPodgery (E. Cobb) — the WPA poster, “Let Them Grow”. A thinnish wood, and I was a little worried that the four-color graphic with lots of blocks of color would be hard — but the puzzle cut made it steady work, and there was […]
BCB, Steele Briggs Seed Catalog
Hoefnagel Puzzle Club, BCB.
Special Delivery by Manami Lingerfelt (Nautilus)
Ash and I enjoyed this owl puzzle by Manami Lingerfelt, from Nautilus: “Special Delivery“: This beautiful owl wooden puzzle looks like a typical barn owl; the artist has our owl carrying a small satchel and a book between her toes. She’s decorated in flowers and is seen soaring through a swirly night sky. Where is she […]
Miyazaki translucent puzzle
We enjoyed the snap-clickiness of this little Miyazaki art puzzle.
Mr. Z’s Sugar Maples
update: Finished! Whew. I will admit that I enjoyed the last third, which went quickly, the best. This puzzle (from Hoefnagel) is kicking my ass, a little, which I wasn’t quite expecting. Although maybe I should have, given the artwork! There’s some color line cutting, but I’m not sure that’s it — it’s the artwork […]
