Fireworks, Stibbett Studio

300 pieces.  Did this on Halloween between trick or treaters, so not at the usual puzzling table, which added a bit of challenge.  Small pieces, nice hand feel; not quite as difficult as the sunflower though it did take work.  Again, a very nice puzzle that would make a nice hostess gift (or souvenir for those visiting/from Washington state).  4/5

The New World, 1507, Optimago

800 pieces.  Unusual shape, plus the, let's say, impressionistic shape of the continents made this a fun one.  4/5

Great Wave off of Kanagawa, Wentworth

1000 pieces. Quite a challenge! 4/5

progress; why is that one piece in the center missing?

Casting Spells, Wentworth

274 pieces. Cute design: skulls, pumpkins, and bats. Relatively easy to do though because of the different images through the puzzle.  3/5

Puzzlemonk, Drawing Hands

162 pieces. Black and white, intricate cuts, and Escher design: a true pleasure even at this small size. 5/5

Neverending Stories, Wentworth

By Colin Thompson, 1000 pieces.  I love this picture--this is my third puzzle with it, though one was only cardboard.  1000 pieces is pretty much the maximum I can do for Wentworth because the sheer space required to manipulate all the pieces gets uncomfortably big for me, but I enjoyed putting this together.  Also, are Wentworths adding more multi-piece whimsies, or am I just noticing more? 5/5

So many pieces
