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 […]

Totem Pole in the Mist by Terry Isaac (Cobble Hill 1000)
I loved this painting of a totem pole and crow by Terry Isaac (and look, Terry also includes a page highlighting puzzle adaptations!) and it made a lovely 1000-piece puzzle by Cobble Hill. The background ended up offering a gradient, more or less, from the top right light-sky quadrant to the bottom left darker grey. […]

Christmas Cats, Diane Dempsey, Cobble Hill
Diane Dempsey does fabulous midcentury / retro-style art for Cobble Hill (and has her own design firm, RetroChristmasCardCompany .com), and I really loved this 1000-piece “Christmas Cats” puzzle. The tree was the last & hardest part but it wasn’t that hard … just there was a lot going on visually.

Ash finished this Cobble Hill 1000-piece “Sugar Skull Cookies” puzzle today ….

Cobble Hill 1000-piece, “Terrarium Cat” I wanted to finish the cat first, as is befitting, but sure enough, I ended up doing all the more distinctive pieces first and getting the dark body of the Siamese last ….

Tartans of Scotland
“Oh, Scottish tartans! That’s great — I can learn famous tartans while I puzzle.” Educational puzzling! In retrospect, I am left with the question — Why did I even want to learn famous tartans? (I mean, I know: An over-abundance of fiction glorifying the Highlands and what-not ….) This 1000-piece Cobble Hill puzzle was truly […]
