Liberty, 403 pieces. Notable for the extra-large human figural pieces; otherwise colorful and pleasant. 3/5
I do wooden jigsaw puzzles and take pictures of them.

The Met- Dish with Flowers and Berries
Loren Damewood, 180 pieces. I've seen pictures of these smoothly cut puzzles, but this is my first assembly! The pieces are satisfyingly rounded, but very small. A nice change of pace. 3/5

The Maze
The Continuing Puzzles of Bungalow Bill, 349 pieces. Not for the faint of heart! Lots of shape matching required because the visual cues were minimal/disrupted by the stripes. This was a puzzle that did get easier at the end, though, because as chunks came together their relation to each other became clearer and clearer. 4/5

Journey to Japan
Stave, 310 pieces. Some of the areas in the puzzle are less distinct in pieces than they look once assembled! 6/10

The Golden State
Stave, 60 pieces. Sort of seems unfair to California to give it a puzzle the same size as the others, but still nice! 6/10

Born to Fly
Stave, 185 pieces. This Tormentor is amazing because it plays completely fair: there is a consistent pattern on the image, and yet that's not very much help at all, in part because of the carved-out slivers that change a corner to a not-quite-match with its neighbor. 10/10 instant classic

Shades of Blue
Stave, 410 pieces. This was a challenge because of the aforementioned shades; I really like the process of seeing the colors become more and more distinguishable as I work through the puzzle. Also some unusual whimsies--that rose was not something I'd seen from Stave before. 7/10
