M.C. Escher, Bond of Union

 Optimago (?), 600 pieces, 1 apparently missing :(

Very difficult because of the black and white and significant areas where there was only a bit of non-gray. 3/5

Birds & Bees, Pam Weber

 Stumpcraft, 284 pieces. 4 small puzzles together, pretty easy to distinguish, some nice color-line-ish whimsies. 3/5

Lac La Hache Wildflowers, Lori Anne McKague

 Stumpcraft, 200 pieces. The irregular edge gives both charm and difficulty. 3/5

Where's My Mummy?

 Stave, 140 pieces. Fun two-layer teaser. 7/10

Indians of North America, Jo Mora

 Liberty, 726 pieces. Lots of detail and areas of darkness make the puzzle a challenge at this size. Piece shapes not standard for Liberty, visible on the back. 3/5

Community Puzzle, Puzzle Jam South

 Chestnut & Hemlock, 209 pieces. What a fun puzzle! Large pieces so they could be individually hand painted. Has to be assembled by shape. 8/10

just a few of my favorite pieces, including a worm and a shocked banana

a few more favorites

assembly is kind of random

Sandi Rigby, Oasis of Tranquility

 Artifact, 1001 pieces. Big, moderated by distinct areas (though that last center part was a doozy). Notable for the first representation of a wheelchair user in a whimsy that I've seen! 4/5

unusual whimsy representation
