Snowflake Santa

Dimensions: 13 x 12"
Pieces: 120
Price: $250
|
| Maybe Santa has been at the North Pole too long. His beard seems to be made of snowflakes! The picture gives you a rough idea, but your challenge will be to make all the snowflakes actually fit together. And, just as in nature, no two are alike! |

Gather Ye Acorns

Dimensions: 8" diameter
Pieces: 70
Price: $140
|
| This little chipmunk knows that Winter is coming, and he needs to store up a good supply of food. While his squirrel cousins have to venture out every day in the snow, he will be snugly tucked away in his burrow, dozing and snacking, until Spring arrives. |

This two-way puzzle was designed for the Pagey Elliott Puzzle Cutters' Exchange that was held this past July at the Puzzle Parley in Salem, MA. The exchange is named for Rachel Page Elliott (1913 - 2009), who began cutting puzzles in her 70's and soon became an expert. She and a group of like-minded puzzle people organized the first Puzzle Parley in 1994 as a way to encourage the exchange of ideas and information between puzzle cutters. Up until that point, puzzle cutters had tended to jealously guard their methods and sources, and it was almost unheard of for one cutter to help another. Today, largely thanks to Pagey's efforts, the culture of independent puzzle cutters in this country is very different.
Shown above are two views of the same puzzle. In the first view, the cat is looking for his catnip mouse. It's just behind him on the rug, but, as you can tell from his crazed expression, he is already a little impaired. In the second view, he's found the mouse and grabs it with his paws. See if you can assemble the puzzle both ways!

| Introducing our new Advent Calendar Puzzle! This year, why not puzzle your way through the holiday countdown? Included with this special puzzle are the village scene above, which is assembled first, and 24 "replacement" pieces, each one tucked into its own pocket in the nifty caddy shown below at center. Each pre-Christmas day in December corresponds to one replacement piece in the caddy. You must find the piece in the puzzle that is its twin, and swap them as shown below at left. The sleepy winter village will begin to come to life as windows light up, decorations appear, and people come out into the streets. Each replacement piece is numbered on the back in gold, so that when the holiday season is over and the puzzle is disassembled, you can return each special piece to its proper pocket in the caddy and be ready for next year. |

Fowl Play

Dimensions: 12.5" x 10"
Pieces: 154
Price: $305
|
| Fair or "fowl"? That is the question. Is it fair for almost every puzzle piece to be ENTIRELY color-line cut, including the interlocks? Obviously, we think so. To those who disagree we say: Quit your squawking! With very few color cues to help you, solving this one will give you something to crow about! |

Two By Two

Dimensions: 7.5 x 8 "
Pieces: 75
Price: $150
|
|
 |
|
| This is not a trick puzzle, but a challenge nonetheless due to the many "dropout" spaces. The animals interlock with each other and with the ark to nest securely inside. There is room for a short name or initials in this puzzle. |
|
 |
|
 |
|
| Ten pairs of animals must fit inside the ark. |
|
The ark is provisioned and ready to load. The animals are waiting patiently. Can you get them safely inside before the flood? |

Reef Madness
© Andrea Farnham
Dimensions: 8"
diameter
Pieces: 200
Price: $400
|
Build
a colorful coral reef with a three-dimensional look! This
puzzle has three layers, each featuring a different reef scene
full of fish, coral, and other reef inhabitants. Several of
the fish function as anchor pieces to hold the upper layers
in place.
|
|
|
|
|
The
bottom layer shows the reef edge
where dolphins frolic among the schooling fish. |
When
the second layer is added,
a coral arch allows a dolphin to peek through from below. |
Some
additional reef denizens make an appearance as
figure pieces. |
