While on a wooden jigsaw kick, I haven’t been doing my backlog of cardboard puzzles …. so I did one that I’ve been wanting to do for a while — “\u02bbAlal\u0101 Love”, a 500-piece puzzle illustrated by Caren Loebel-Fried<\/a>, from the New York Puzzle Company<\/a>‘s “Cornell Lab of Ornithology<\/a>” series. It doesn’t look like the puzzle is available any more, but amazon has a link<\/a> with more info. The artist, Loebel-Fried<\/a>, is in Half Moon Bay! and also Hawaii. Gorgeous block prints. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a puzzle of her “Alala Love<\/a>” print, which depicts an endangered Hawaiian crow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The puzzle cut is more variable than a simple strip cut but not quite random cut, so there are clues for puzzle pieces sometimes, and relatively few false fits. The puzzle pieces were large — this puzzle is as big as a 1000 piece puzzle, about 18″ x 24″ or so (eyeballing it). It was eyecatching but not totally easy to do because of the limited color palette. Beautiful image!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
