Eyes Full of Stars, Marie-Claude Fournier
Victory, 548 pieces. I've had this queued for a while but there was a missing piece; fortunately, the folks at Victory worked very hard to get a replacement piece. Unfortunately, it broke during transit--might need bubble wrap next time!--but wood glue works well. Anyway, this is a Mark Capitella cut which manages to get a fair amount of color-line cutting and tricky split connectors. 4/5

Six Bird Hunters in Full Camouflage
Chris Yates, Remote Archipelago
Chris Yates, 61 pieces. A nice little example of Yates's work with mostly standard connectors and a nice 3-D element. 3/5

French Quarter Horse Post, Frenchy
Happy Valley, Marina Castaldo
Elms, 430 pieces. A nice light-colored image with slight variations that eventually revealed themselves. 6/10
Venice, Italy
Padma, 337 pieces. I think these three that I've done give a good sense of Padma's style--again bright colors and themed connectors. This time there are also standalone letters. 3/5
