Two more stamp puzzles I have cut

I am really beginning to enjoy making stamp puzzles. Seems like that is all I want to sit and cut. Maybe it is because they don't take hours on hours to make like a bigger puzzle. Not sure.

Anyway, here are the latest stamps puzzles I have made. The first is a 1 cent Tiffany Lamp stamp that is currently out at the post office.

The second is a 1975 10cent stamp of the Apollo Soyuz Space Test Project. It is about 3 times the size of a regular postage stamp, and as such, it ended up having 32 pieces. The pieces seemed to get a little bigger as I went, so when I cut the next one of these, I think it will probably end up in the 40-50 piece range. Not bad for a puzzle that is made from a postage stamp!!!

New Stamp Puzzle - Year of the Ox Chinese Lion Stamp

I cut a new stamp last night. It is the Year of the Ox stamp from the postal service. It is a bigger stamp, so it has more pieces. This one had 14 pieces, but I could see even having a few more. Check out the pics. Also, if you would like one, check out my ebay listings or email me.

Finished "On the Terrace (Two Sisters)"

I have finally finished the puzzle "On the Terrace (Two Sisters)". This was a great puzzle to cut. I really enjoyed working with it. In the next few days, my wife will probably put it together, and we will see how difficult it is. Puzzle is 15 3/4" X 13" and it ended up being 328 pieces with 13 figurals. I did do a some color line cutting in it, as well as some not so obvious edge pieces.

Please take a look at the pictures and then, leave me a comment about what you think.

Back to working on the "Terrace"

I finally got back to working on "On the Terrace (Two Sisters)". I have about 1/2 of the puzzle done, and plan to finish it this week. Right now, I have been really pleased with it. I am cutting it in my Random style which means pretty much knobs but with no definite shape to the pieces. Really looking forward to getting it done and seeing what my wife thinks about it. I will keep you posted.
