Snowflake Puzzle

Nervous System, 121 pieces. I liked the interaction of the more regular snowflakes with the curvier Nervous System style. 3/5

Vikram Madan, Robot Creation Myth

 Artifact, 382 pieces. This one had a lot of dark blue in it that started out hard to differentiate, complicated by the very irregular edge; eventually some distinctions became more visible. Liked the dropout stars! 3/5

Surinam Caiman & South American False Coral Snake, Maria Sibylla Merian

 Turning Taxis, 243 pieces. Another small-piece challenge with some subtle color changes in the caiman body! 3/5

Peking Opera #1

 Turning Taxis, 255 pieces. Very small pieces make this an assembly challenge, along with the irregular edge/protrusions! 3/5

finger for comparison

Dee Rogers, Haven of Halos

 Nonie Made Me, 67 pieces. Fun teaser puzzle! 4/5

Owl-Woodland Flower, Jena DellaGrottaglia

Liberty, 540 pieces. Impressive cut with multipiece flowers centered on the flowers in the image, though hilariously I don't seem to have retained a picture of the front! 4/5

Coastal Landscape with Blooming Lilac Bush, Thorolf Holmboc

 Liberty, 481 pieces. Really fun whimsies, including an elaborate tree design and what might be my personal favorite, a parent/child pair reading together. 4/5

adult and child reading together: love it!

Jasamine Becket-Griffith, Alice in a Klimt Dream

 BCB Puzzles, 150 pieces. Small and colorful! 3/5

Celtic Cat

 Stave, 390 pieces. Feline fun with lots of repeating image elements for difficulty. 6/10

Meditative Lines, Eduard-ArtBeat Studios

 Wentworth, 272 pieces. This extra difficult cut was a little less fun than the previous one because the nature of the repeating cut created a lattice that made the six-pointed pieces push-fit/made them mostly useful to fit in once the lattice was constructed. 3/5

The Persistence of Memory, Salvador Dali (BART)

 BART, 405 pieces. The change in visual textures probably makes this easier than a straight reproduction of the image would have. The whimsies are often outsized in comparison to the non-whimsy pieces, but are interestingly themed by the image/Dali. 3/5
