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.

Portobello Road

 CrowPrints, 288 pieces. A nice image in the CrowPrints style, with strip-cut-ish pieces and a stylized photo turned jewel-like in coloring. 3/5

Illusion of stacked cubes

Crowprints, 340 pieces.  These are thick, well-cut strip-cut-ish puzzles that can be relatively challenging where the colors are subtle--here, the colors provide good guidance but also shade just enough to keep me working.  3/5

Ladybugs

CrowPrints, 252 pieces. A nice puzzle with high difficulty because of the repeating images.  I forgot to take a picture of the complete puzzle, but fortunately the website picture is accurate! 3/5

Ornaments

CrowPrints, 276 pieces.  I wanted to see how this cutter would do dropouts, since the others I have are rectangular--I liked the shaping of this, as well as the deep colors.  More difficult than it looks! 3/5

antique birdhouses

CrowPrints, 300 pieces.  I like this picture style--an artsy filter, I take it--and the cutting has just enough variation to make the strip cut reasonable.  3/5
