Forest Fables, Trippy Puzzles
“Trippy Puzzle Co.” is a laser cutter, listed on Etsy, that says “designed in the US, made in China.” The box is very similar to another puzzle I got recently — can’t remember which — and includes “display feet” like a CraftHub puzzle. So I take it there is a laser wood cutter in China […]
Nadieh Bremer Coronium, Artifact
Enjoyable puzzle (“Coronium” by Nadieh Bremer) by Artifact, courtesy of Hoefnagel – even though I don’t ordinarily love digital art like this, I really liked the cut. This 172 piece wooden jigsaw puzzle by Dutch digital artist Nadieh Bremer is named for Coronium, a new atomic element hypothesized in 1887 to explain signals in the solar […]
King Dasaratha, Inside Out
From Inside Adventure (via Etsy), this beautiful painting of King Dasaratha, from a scene in the Ramayana. Inside Adventure says: This puzzle contains dozens of hand-drawn whimsy pieces, intricately cut into the shapes of different characters, animals and plants. They are works of art within the puzzle. … Our whimsies are carefully crafted and designed […]
Koi Pond, Whimsy Wood Puzzles
Ash and I enjoyed this one! Kind of a simple grid cut, but a really pretty image. Held together well! Thick pieces. “Koi Pond”, from an original painting by Dena Tollefson; Whimsy Wood Puzzles, 350 pieces, “standard cut”, 12.375″ x 18.375″.
Mr Bob, Italy
Courtesy of Hoefnagel, a puzzle from Mr. Bob (“Burano, Italy”) with photography by Australian photographer Garry Schlatter — I finished it Friday July 26, but one piece is missing! Agh. Will keep looking …. Update: Whew! It turns out the piece was taped to the inside of the shipping box — I guess it was […]
Whimsy Puzzles, Singing Fish
A really beautiful image, from “Whimsy Wood Puzzles“, which is now retiring. This is the “Tree of Life” cut, or actually some variation thereof, on the “Singing Fish” large-piece puzzle. Thanks, Hoefnagel! The cutting style of this puzzle — some of the whimsies in particular — really reminded me of a puzzle by “Corgi” I […]
puzzling at Puzzle Parley
Some of the puzzling at Puzzle Parley 2024! For my record. (-:
Curiosi double-sided geometric
Puzzle Double “Q-Flower” from Curiosi. Double-sided, black/white, very hard! This was owned by one of the fellow attendees at the Puzzle Parley, kindly sharing her puzzle in the casual puzzling room.
Blooming Hope, Stumpcraft
Very sweet 34-piece mini-puzzle from StumpCraft, “Blooming Hope”, art by Michelle Austin, 2024. We did
Birds and Bees, Stumpcraft
Some group puzzling at Puzzle Parley! I did the bee, and a lot of the flower bed on the right …. This was a sweet StumpCraft, “Birds and Bees”: Artist: Pam WeberPuzzle Designer: Jasen RobillardDimensions: 27.5 cm x 27.5 cmPiece Count: 284Difficulty: 3 out of 5 The air is a buzz with the flutter of wings […]
Talitha the Baby Owl, Puzzly
From Puzzly, a UK laser-cutter, a challenging owl puzzle. It was shaped, very push-fit, lots of false edges, and a black and white image — so fairly challenging. Very thin wood (MDF?), 166 pieces. Lots of fun whimsies (owls, obviously); my favorite was an “owl and pussycat” in a boat, on waves ….
Whiskered Woods, Rebel Puzzles
I tried out two puzzles from Rebel Puzzles, a laser cutter, and the first (“Whiskered Woods“) was great fun! A tesselation of cat pieces — two main styles with minor differences among some of the pieces. Required close attention to color, pattern, and the minor detailed differences. Ash is going to love this one, I […]
Mona Lisa, Ronald W. Butler puzzles
This puzzle (Leonardo da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa”, from Ronald W. Butler Puzzles), was courtesy of Hoefnagel. I ordinarily steer clear of the “old masters” because (a) the images are often too familiar to be interesting and (b) the colors often reproduce in a muted and muddy way. And that was true with this puzzle, as […]
Piecezz Cat Party
A mini-puzzle from Piecezz, a laser cutter that Michele found. This one (“Cat Party“) was cat-themed, 40 pieces.
Raeburn’s The Skating Minister
Via Hoefnagel, a Wentworth puzzle, “Reverend Robert Walker Skating on Duddingston Loch“, painted by Henry Raeburn, circa 1795; the original work is held by the National Galleries of Scotland. There were a bunch of themed, etched whimsies — mittens, steaming cup of something (I imagine chocolate), a wreath, skates, a skier …. I had imagined […]
Artifact Puzzles Abu al-Hasan Squirrels
From Artifact Puzzles, via Hoefnagel, public domain art by Abu al-Hasan (1589-1630) or possibly Ustad Mansur. Squirrels in a plane tree by Abu al-Hasan (1589 – c. 1630) , Mughal India. Ash and I liked this one – the geometric shape to the “square” pieces, the whimsies, the border …. Artifact says: Here is a […]
CraftHub Parrot
Another little CraftHub puzzle, one of the last of a batch. Exceedingly push-fitty. A family affair – Laura, Ash, Michele.
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.
Crafthub Guitar
Ash and I did this one. Ash pointed out that this image appears to have been AI generated, noting the number of tuning pegs ….
