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.

Garden of Delights (Hieronymus Bosch)

Stave, 860 pieces. There is an awful lot going on in the picture (less realist in today's terms in depicting distance, though still perspectival as between background and foreground) for added difficulty. Some of the whimsies echo figures in the puzzle, including a figure apparently wearing a hat and clutching a giant strawberry. There are a number of whimsies interacting sexually, which actually works fine for the puzzle theme, and a rebus that may well be sexually themed.  7/10
