Elektik Beat Blocks
Via Hoefnagel, an acrylic puzzle from Elektik.
Rex Ray’s “Alistair”, from Liberty
2/19: Finished! Super landscape! 1:2.5 ratio or so. Also, lots of Liberty-style human figural dancers, and musicians. Liberty: 2/17: Under way! “Alistair” by Rex Ray, Liberty Puzzles, about 550 pieces, via Hoefnagel. I love Rex Ray, so I was excited to request this puzzle from Hoefnagel, but now (having just started), I am feeling daunted!
Bumfuzzled 1 Enigmatic Gewgaw
A nice fast solve, at the end of a long hard day. I guess the peices with the little “x” are supposed to be drop-outs and puzzle pieces to re-insert? Note: My puzzle arrived with a little stain or scorchmark – that is not a result of me being sloppy! I find the coloring on […]

three-fer
Three-fer — three puzzles, three people … plus a cat. A fun family puzzling afternoon. Ash knocked off the hand-puzzle from Chestnut and Hemlock pretty quickly — felt very challenged initially but then pulled it together. I made minimal contributions. The Wentworth chocolates mini puzzle also went fast — Michele got the last piece in, […]
Outsider Insider
Artifact Puzzles “Outsider Insider” by Patricio Betteo. 409 pieces, puzzle design by Jim Muller and Kathryn Flocken. Hoefnagel! Really colorful and fun. Harder than I would have thought, due to the geometric cuts and the geometric lines, or maybe due to covid brain. Anyway, fun!
Greenwood Burg Bumfuzzled 2
Enjoyed the colors and patterns of Bumfuzzled #2, “Greenwood Burg”. Michele really got into it, too.
Rex Ray 2
I really enjoy Rex Ray’s art, but will confess I enjoyed “Mylopronesta” more than this one. That image was more satisfying — not just because it has a title, although of course that does satisfy my metadata anal retentivity — but also because I enjoyed the various patterns and blobs of color more. On the […]
Manami Lingerfelt “Moonrise”
Wow, I loved this art — “Moonrise” by Manami Lingerfelt (website). The Nautilus puzzle is 360 pieces, and just under a square foot. Lots of fun whimsies, one and two-pieced, and the two-pieces were beautifully done. (The owl, below, with one of the pieces an internally folded wing, just makes me happy….) Constellations! Moths! Galaxies […]
Rex Ray “Mylopronesta”
Rex Ray, “Mylopronesta” – 1000 pieces, Pomegranate Finished March 9, 2023. Gorgeous, and a real pleasure to look at closely while assembling it. Fairly easy, with the distinct colors — similar colors and shapes had to be sorted out, but there were so many unique colors and shape combinations that it wasn’t hard. The chains […]
Bruce Riley, Stem Cell
Another June 5 puzzle that A and I did together. Artifact Puzzles, “Stem Cell” by Bruce Riley. Pretty image! Artifact description: This is a 191 piece wooden jigsaw puzzle of Bruce Riley’s painting “Stem Cell”. Designed by Tara Flannery, the themed whimsies and miniature hexagonal connectors coupled with psychedelic colors and abstract shapes make for […]
Dennis Brady “Cercles et des Carres”
Very beautiful and easy to do small (65-piece) puzzle from Artifact . Ash and I did it together in early 2022. Artifact: “This is a 65 piece wooden jigsaw puzzle of a digital artwork by Dennis Brady. The abstract sculptural pieces were designed by puzzle artist Tara Flannery in what we call Stokes-style, a tribute […]
Kandinsky “Squares with Concentric Circles”
I honestly don’t remember when we did this one, but Ash and I did it together – spring 2022? winter 2022/2023? Wassily Kandinsky, “Squares with Concentric Circles”, 1913. Public domain! Wikimedia Commons download. Apparently this work is held in a the Lenbachhaus Museum in Munich. Artifact Puzzles: “This color-tastic 191 piece wooden jigsaw puzzle has […]
Karen Kunc “Verse from Macrocosmica”
Karen Kunc, “Verse from Macrocosmica”. Artifact Puzzles, 120-pieces. April 22, 2020 Took apart “Mars” and started an Artifacts puzzle, Karen Kunc, “Verse from Macrocosmica”. Easy to solve, completed quickly in a few hours (with AQ doing a lot) but very beautiful and aesthetically satisfying. And surprising! with straight-edged pieces in the middle … and two […]
