Whorl of Transformation

 Puzzle Lab, 266 pieces. The house style works really well on this image with lots of repeating shapes and color line cutting or near-color line cutting. 3/5

Peacock Reverie

 Puzzle Lab, 229 pieces. They're trying some interesting things in terms of color line cutting; not quite as precise as Fathom. 3/5

Songbirds

 Puzzle Lab, 285 pieces. This might be my favorite Puzzle Lab puzzle yet--the color line cutting recalls Fathom's precision (though I think Puzzle Lab helped itself out by choosing an image with black lines to do the color line cutting on). 4/5

Net of Being

 Puzzle Lab, 427 pieces. Sadly, this one was too much effort even for me, and I like looking for small differences. The cut pattern is repetitive enough, and the laser-cutting not fine enough, so that it is often really hard to tell whether a match is correct. 2/5

New Order

 Puzzle Lab, 350 pieces. You'll know if this is an "awesome!" or "no way!" for you by looking--I'm on the "awesome" side because of the scrutiny required to figure out what size squares are in the image. 4/5

don't know why pictures uploaded in reverse order, but here we are

usually I don't do edges first but this was the best way

Michelle Barkway, Long Winters Nap

 Puzzle Lab, 200 pieces. Haven't done a Puzzle Lab in a while--I was worried the black backs would rub off on my fingers, but they didn't! The organic cut is a nice change of pace. 3/5

Rainbow Flow

 Puzzle Lab, 100 pieces. Easy because of its size and areas of color. Two whimsy pieces, one fragile. 3/5

Troy Benoit, Moon Light/Plant Sight

 Puzzle Lab, 213 pieces. Challenging despite its size because of the limited and dark colors. Unusually, the image is textured, creating an interesting variation on the haptic pleasures of a wooden puzzle. A little char came off on my hands, as is usual with Puzzle Lab. Recommended if you're looking for something a bit different and hard. 3/5

color variation in original, not just a lighting artifact

Summit Sunrise, Mike Lathrop

 Puzzle Lab, 200 pieces. Very difficult because lots of the pieces fit, or seemed to, in different places and there wasn't always a ton of guidance from the image, though there was enough for me to do the puzzle with confidence (albeit the last piece I placed required moving a piece on the edge from where I'd had it and shifting it to the interior; once I'd done that, the superiority of the placement was clear). 3/5

Diane Adolph, Pickle Boat

 Puzzle Lab, 300 pieces. Another of their "trying something new" puzzles, this one with multipiece whimsies including two substantial ones. Love the image; the boat whimsy did fall into the trap that seems laid for new whimsy-makers where the whimsy is sized completely differently than other pieces. The fiddly tiny rectangles were not optimal. Still I appreciate the ambition! 3/5

Harbour Homes, Diane Adolph

 Puzzle Lab, 300 pieces. This maker is expanding its offerings, with this shaped puzzle with a few whimsies showing great potential. 3/5

Why did the pictures come out in opposite order, Blogger? ugh.

Really big dropouts!

Island of Elements, Mike Lathrop

 Puzzle Lab, 500 pieces. I like the cutting style and the image quality is very good, with rich colors. 3/5

Marie Metaphor, Eye See

 Puzzle Lab, 275 pieces. I liked the irregular edges, which added a bit of difficulty along with the similar areas for the image. 3/5

Lissa Anthony, Sunset Serenade

 Puzzle Lab, 175 pieces. Puzzle Lab gets some very nice images, and I like the organic cutting style, similar to but thicker than Nervous System. I could live without all the char remaining from the cuts, though. 3/5

Sarah Jenkinson, Mandala #2

 Puzzle Lab, 200 pieces. I like the red/pink/orange palette here. 3/5

Julie Amlin, Pixel Peaks

 Puzzle Lab, 200 pieces. A nicely colorful image; they do have good image selection for the organic cut. 3/5

Mandy Leinbach, Papa Bear

 Puzzle Lab, 200 pieces. I really do like this cut, but I could've sworn I ordered ones with more varied piece counts so that I'd get more variety! On closer comparison, I do think each puzzle is different, but the cut style creates a very similar feel. This is a nice muted image that suits the organic cut. 3/5
