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.

Marc Chagall, Moi et le village

LeColimaçon, 379 pieces.  I did learn something about Chagall's art doing this, the way it's put together in blocks of color turning into different figures.  But it's still push-fit (with partially interlocking borders).



Bubbles, Thom Spencer

Jigsaw Art, 162 pieces.  Another good one.  4/5

LeColimaçon, Van Gogh

Vincent van Gogh, Bateaux de pecheurs, 488 pieces.  Every once in a while I think "that puzzle looks so cool, I will try it though it's push-fit."  I am wrong and need to be reminded of this.



Blue Asteroids, Jigsaw Art/Thom Spencer

232 pieces.  Fun and challenging; nice piece shapes.  4/5

Purple Flower

Woodmorningshop (on Etsy), about 150 pieces.  Interesting shape; matte finish makes for a different puzzling experience.  4/5
