Stranger by the Lake (Bare Ass Creek) by Ken Gun Min (Kinstler 1000)
Gorgeous artwork — “Stranger by the Lake (Bare Ass Creek)” by Ken Gun Min, which made for an amazing puzzle from Kinstler. What a fun puzzle! Also, pretty challenging! Lots of little colored or patterned sections, but so many that it was a little too busy for me to solve in a very organized fashion. […]

Franklin Carmichael Collection (Cobble Hill 1000)
I really loved this puzzle! Cobble Hill Puzzles, 1000-piece, “Carmichael Collection” in the “Canadian Artist Series”. Franklin Carmichael (1890-1945), member of the Group of Seven, and a Theosophist …. The five included artworks are all in the collections at the Art Gallery of Ontario and include, clockwise from top left, “Light and Shadow” (1937), “Autumn […]

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.
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 […]
Vintage Nancy Drew, Cobble Hill
A couple of years ago I got two Cobble Hill Nancy Drew book cover puzzles — one was labeled “vintage” and the other, which also had covers from similar eras, was not! The one I did last year around this time included a lot more and many smaller covers, many (not all) from the yellow […]
I Moose Be Dreaming, StandOut Puzzles
I loved this artwork & grabbed his “StandOut Puzzles” (their website is down but their instagram is live) 750-piece puzzle, “I Moose Be Dreaming“, with art by Erin Brekke Conn …. and man it was hard. The entire painting is pointillism! With that difficulty, the seven extra pieces that they threw in — that appear […]
