Four small Artifacts

Ryoko, Meditating Skeleton, 81 pieces. Punches above its piece count because of the skull-like hexagonal shapes and limited color range. Very good (can't really say cute) whimsies. 3/5

Vikram Madan, Stop and Smell the Daisies, 171 pieces. Ok, I think I have to say "cute" for this one, and the coffin-shape pieces are fun, but I object conceptually to the crossbones with bunny ears (there's no bones in bunny ears!). 3/5

Renoir, Pears, 166 pieces. Another well-designed small cut; I really enjoyed all the curved pieces. 3/5

Amadeo Simonetti, Rug Merchant, 269 pieces. More conventional hexagonal pieces here, with a complex image that can be hard to track from piece to piece. 3/5
