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.

Llamas in Pajamas

 Stave, 75 pieces. Relatively simple, but still some tricks--in the closeup, look how nicely almost everything hooks together ... and then that snout is just hanging out in a cranny of a completely different shape. Hmph. 7/10

Jungle Waterfall

 Stave, 530 pieces. Lots of detail here; I liked that the flamingoes were in multiple places although it sometimes complicated matters. 7/10






love the multipiece lion




rebus: And+eye+mule ant+tack+S = animal antics (possibly animal attacks but that seems violent)



dueling giraffes
