This gallery contains some of the most imaginative, eyecatching, and challenging puzzles I've made. I certainly like to come up with new ideas and features to put in my puzzles. I have to admit, however, many of the best ideas in the puzzles below came from my customers! Maybe your idea can make it into this gallery too...


Bouquet Set

set of 4 similar puzzles, 100-130 pieces each, knobby-cut

Competitive Puzzling! The Bouquet Set is a set of four similar prints made into four separate puzzles. All four sets of pieces are thrown into the mix...


Tropical Paradise

600 pieces, 19"x19", knobby cut

Tropical Paradise is a large puzzle with a Hawaiian theme. It includes Hawaiian butterflies, uses Hawaiian petroglyphs as some of the figurals, and even says Aloha in the center of the puzzle. The top edge is irregular, and the "smoke" coming from the volcano is part of the cut-away.


The Great Wave of Kanagawa
Image © Katsushika Hokusai
144 pieces, knobby cut in the sky and swirl cut in the water

A beautiful oriental painting by the great Hokusai became a delightful puzzle by the ... uhh ... aspiring-to-greatness Jack-in-the-Box Puzzles' Scott Stafford. The sun is formed by the edge-cut and dropped-out clouds obscure the rest.


Cosmic Athlete

230 pieces, 7"x10"

The top edge forms a graceful curve that slides into the arch of the discus thrower's body. Blurry, indistinct lines in the image make the assembly a real challenge.


Wildflower Tapestry

621 pieces, 23.5" x 17", wild cut

A dizzyingly busy picture makes this puzzle a real challenge. The edge follows the petals of various flowers, and tons of wild critters inhabit the middle of the puzzle, both in the print and as figurals!


Cat-astrophe

108 pieces, 9"x7", artistic style

This adorable puzzle has a crazily irregular edge, and includes 9 cat figurals, each of which has 3 little whiskers that extend onto the next piece.
