Abu al-Hassan, Squirrels

 Artifact, 155 pieces. Small pieces; difficulty created by similarity throughout image. 3/5

Life of the Desert

 Stave, 495 pieces. Another beautiful image with animal themed whimsies. 7/10

Smellin' Good

 BCB Puzzles, 150 pieces. A relatively simple Teaser-style puzzle, with large pieces. 6/10

Simple Gifts

 Approx. 50 pieces, BellArt. The fun piece shapes (with color line cutting) and double-sidedness make this puzzle enjoyable. 3/5

What a Dive!

 Stave, 70 pieces. Marked as a two-sword Teaser, which seems right. 6/10

Roch Urbaniak, Floating Town

 Artifact, 228 pieces. Relatively hard for its size because of the cut/busy things going on in particular sections. I think this was a speed puzzling puzzle; I can see why it would have been. 3/5

Silver, Audrey

 Five Frogs Woodworking, 221 pieces. Since my daughter is going to take Audrey's other portrait when she goes to college, I commissioned a second one, which turned out equally wonderful. Different sections have different cut styles--with a tiny bit of overlap as they transition--including great John Stokes III-style swirls. 10/10
