I do wooden jigsaw puzzles and take pictures of them.
Stave, 545. I was very happy that Stave added a couple of double-sided puzzles to its rental program (also looking forward to double-decker ones). I'm really glad to have tried it, because I learned that the double-sidedness makes it harder for me to see the incredible whimsy work of a Stave, so it's not going to be a primary yearning of mine going forward. 6/10

Elms, 442 pieces. This was printed on shiny metallic paper that worked super well with the image but did not photograph quite as well. Elms rental is a good way to try things like this out! 7/10
Stave, 230 pieces. Sadly Stave doesn't offer my most desired New Yorker cover--the famous New Yorker's eye view of the world--but this was still a fun build. 6/10

Elms, 341 pieces. Did a bigger version of this before; it's a fun image. 4/5
Stave, 435 pieces. I love doing Stave skies because the piece shapes are initially unreliable but ultimately perfect guides. 6/10

| many different umbrellas: with whimsy, color line cut, and multipiece |
Nautilus, 350 pieces. I don't get as much out of Gaugin images as the Impressionists; maybe it's something about the brushstrokes. 3/5
