Cobbler Shop

 Puzzlapy, 131 pieces. Another Teaser-style design by Dee Rogers--this one is relatively simple with few gaps between the teaser pieces, though it still requires some thought to assemble. 4/5

Chef

 Padma Puzzles, 227 pieces. Really leans into "themed, shaped connectors," with the thinner wood associated with the substantial entry into the market after 2020. In a nice touch, the connectors are mirrored by larger, sometimes multi-piece, whimsies. 

A pot!

Better look at some of the connectors

Jonathan Araujo, Toucans

 Artifact, 386 pieces. Nicely colorful image with repeated areas of color that gave it a bit of challenge. The whimsies merited a few pictures of the back! 3/5

Catch & Release

 Misfit Creations, 68 pieces, from a design by Dee Rogers. Again, what an amazing contribution to the community! I liked this one because of the bubbly cut, which made for a fun Teaser-style puzzle. 4/5

Gustav Klimt, Lady with Fan

 Artifact, 161 pieces. Swirly cut adds enough difficulty to the image to compensate for its small size. 3/5

poodle!

Fan-cy Feet

 Stave, 255 pieces. Just a pure delight of a Teaser with lots of color and different places to stash the teaser pieces. 8/10
