Woodbests Puzzles Yin Yang

A beautiful black and white yin-yang, from Woodbests Puzzles, a laser cutter I was not familiar with; the puzzle was part of a pack from Hoefnagel. Honestly kind of labor intensive, but I really enjoyed the martial artist whimsies. Ash and I started it, then I wrapped it up.

Seaglass, from Zen Puzzles

A small but satisfying puzzle from Zen Puzzles, via Hoefnagel Puzzle Club — seaglass! A few cute whimsies. Ash and I were able to put it together handily, with Ash assembling the frame, me assembling the pieces around the whimsies, and then some color matching to pull it all together.

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 ….

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 […]

Ryoko Meditating Skeleton by Artifact

“Meditating Skeleton” by Ryoko, from Artifact. Super fun! I really liked the irregular border. The base puzzle shape was a skull, with little heart-shaped bone socket connectors. I’ve had this puzzle since April 2022, and just hadn’t gotten around to it, but I’m so glad I finally did. The back makes me think very much […]

Mondrian, Composition with Grid 2 (1915), Artifact

This 153 piece Artifact puzzle is, unsurprisingly, a lot harder than the number of pieces would suggest. Mondrian‘s “Composition with Grid 2” is basically about 80 rectangles in various shades of blue-grey and brown-grey, over the eponymous blue grid … I really liked it. … The Artifact description calls this “calming blue”. If you look […]
