Fall Bounty Wreath

A super sweet and fun little 63-piece puzzle, “Fall Bounty Wreath”, art by Parker Fulton, #3249-1, from Elms / Waterford, via Hoefnagel. I did it while Ash did art, but Ash put in a couple of key pieces, thus rendering it a dual effort.

Sarah Gentry, Mel’s Belles, Liberty

I really enjoyed “Mel’s Belles” (who’s Mel, I wonder?) by Sarah Gentry, a Liberty puzzle of a bouquet of flowers, which came in a Hoefnagel pack along with the Rex Ray “Alistair” puzzle. I requested the pack because of Rex Ray, but ended up enoying the Sarah Gentry puzzle even more! Maybe I was just […]

Butterfly on Sunflower (TurtleTeasers)

Anyway, it’s really pretty, visually striking, and the printing […]

Mr Gogo 5 layer flower mandala

My first Mr. Gogo, courtesy of the Hoefnagel Puzzle Club, a 5-layer flower mandala, labeled as a “teaser”. It was a beautiful image, repeated in 5 layers, with a clever two-layer stacked piece connecting each layer. More challenging than I thought it would be, due to the repeating images on the different layers, but I […]

Soaring to New Heights – Stave

My first Stave! courtesy of the Hoefnagle Club. “Soaring to New Heights” (2023, 145 pieces, 4 swords Teaser). Well, Stave lives up to their reputation. Really challenging! I used a reference image of the solved puzzle to help me out whenever I was super stuck. The reference images … were not perfect matches with my […]
