Monet's "The Water Lily Pond" Mini Puzzle

I cut a small mini puzzle of Monet's "The Water Lily Pond". In this puzzle, I put no figurals, not even my "man in the moon" piece, and I also cut several internal edge pieces, to make it more difficult. It took my wife about 30min to work this puzzle, which for a 66 piece puzzle, makes it not a very easy puzzle to do.

It is 6" x 6" and I plan on selling this puzzle on Ebay. Here is the link.

Here are some pics.

Parrot test puzzle...

I have been talking with a new artist about cutting some of her work in puzzles. Her name is Judith Stein, and you can see more of her work here: www.judithstein.com . Her work includes a lot of really nice pictures of children, that I am sure you would like.

The puzzle is about 4" x 6" (a sample to try some paper), and I ended up with 27 pieces. I cut it in swirl cut, something new I am trying to learn, and it turned out pretty good. I did get some of the swirls a little thin. Just need to remember while cutting to give space for the swirl on the return.

I am going to do some larger puzzles with her work, and plan to offer them for sale. If you see one of her paintings that you would like in a puzzle, let me know and we can work out the details. Then I can order the print from Judith on the paper that works best for puzzles.

Stamp Puzzles ...

I have been cutting a lot of stamp puzzles, and I would like to thank Carter Johnson for introducing me to this great art. I thought I would post some of my pics of stamps I have cut. I have several more mounted ready to cut, and I will post more pics when I get to them. My stamp puzzles tend to end up between 8-12 pieces per puzzle, although some stamps I have mounted will be more because of the size of the stamp.

I am definitely not as good at this as Carter, but I enjoy it none the less, and I am seeing improvement.

Please post your thoughts by clicking on the link below the post, and thanks in advance for you comments.

Cut a new puzzle this weekend ...

I needed a gift for my aunt's birthday, so to the saw I went. I cut a great image of a school boy walking to school back before the time of cars.

I didn't cut any figurals in it, except for my signature piece, and I also cut the pieces larger that I normally do, to make it easier for her to handle the pieces. I did a little color line cutting, but not to much. It ended up being 131 pieces, and that made it just over 1 piece per sq. inch.

Anyway, cool puzzle that got a lot of complements at her party.
