About my ratings

Perhaps because of my day job, I'm a tough rater. Everything 3/5 and above I consider worth the time and money. If I purchase on Etsy or a similar platform and the puzzle is as expected, I will give a top rating on the platform because of how seller ratings work, but here "as expected" is probably a 3/5 in most cases.

Nina Surel, The Mirror of Venus

Puzzlewood, 523 pieces.  Incredibly elaborate with multiple thicknesses of wood to frame the piece and highlight elements in it, which contributed to the difficulty (as did a lot of color line cutting).  I'm not super enamored of the picture itself, but I can't deny what a fantastic puzzle it made.  5/5

Update: complete and partially complete picture removed because artist objected; the remaining pictures focus on the cut.
