Hidden Piece, 534 pieces. This is a nice Liberty analogue with its own style, including coral-reef-like pieces and some color line cutting on the fish up at the top. 3/5
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.

Fly Fishing
Stave, 105 pieces. I really love the Touzzle style--a Teaser without a frame. This one is a lot of fun. 8/10
Peonies and Small Birds, Ito Jakuchu
Liberty, 471 pieces. Nice puzzle with consistent difficulty because the colors are largely the same but there's also lots of detail throughout. 3/5

Hic Sunt Dracones
Liberty, approx. 450. Really impressive irregular edges/dropouts. Also, a 3D dragon that I, as usual, failed to make stand up. 5/5

Potomac Days
Bad Hair Day
Kite-Eating Tree (Peanuts)
Liberty, 419 pieces. The Peanuts kids are left largely intact, and there's also other color-line cutting here, making for an unusual and enjoyable Liberty. 4/5
I love the Pigpen cloud, confined to a few pieces around him; repeated flower whimsies on the bottom too |
leaf whimsies |
and of course kite whimsies and jagged outlines around the "chomp"s |
