PUZZLES
Welcome to Jigsaw Art where puzzles become art.
The puzzles are designed by penciling
draft thoughts on the wood, frequently from doodles created when sitting in front
of the computer. Each puzzle is hand sanded, hand cut with a scroll saw, and sometimes
each piece is handled as many as ten times. Almost all of the puzzle pieces are
cut freehand and not following any pre-drawn lines. The finishes are mainly acrylic
paints or water-based stains.
The result is a puzzle (frequently very challenging) that is also a visual piece
of art that can be placed on your coffee table. Your guests will be delighted and
challenged. Since each puzzle is cut by hand (scroll saw) no 2 puzzles will be identical.
The originality of combining artistic designs with the jigsaw puzzle appealed to
me. Each puzzle I create is unique. They are treated with a lot of care throughout
the process. Sometimes strong magnets are applied to the backs of puzzles so they
can be displayed in an upright position. I have created canvas covered sheet metal
in frames just to hang puzzles on the wall. Imagine displaying a piece of art that
is also a puzzle on your wall.

Since many pieces can be small and
others may have strong magnets, I DO NOT recommend most of my puzzles for
children under 4.
