Hand-crafted wedding puzzles – recent work

These are some of the puzzles I cut during the last week. There were six wedding puzzles and one small puzzle with a vintage Santa Claus image.

One of the wedding puzzles was actually for a couple celebrating their anniversary. The wife purchased the puzzle as a gift for her husband. She requested a blank, tree-shaped puzzle with 20 pieces, two of which were to be a heart-shaped and a girl-shaped figure piece. I drew the tree freehand. Another puzzle was a 15″ x 21″ wedding puzzle with about 150 pieces using a bride and groom’s wedding invitation as the image. I won’t show the completed puzzle – to preserve their anonymity – but I can show the couple’s initials and the three mice and three martini glasses that went into the puzzle as figure pieces.

Their wedding theme is  “Haunted Victorian Mansion,” and the bride and groom chose an invitation with a black/gray/white color scheme, heavily scrolled borders, and crows. The bride custom-ordered a stunning silvery gray handcrafted dress with black trimmings from a dress-maker in England. It all sounds fabulous. I wish I could attend this wedding!

A third wedding puzzle was a 12″ x 18″ 50-piece black and white photo puzzle. It showed the bride and groom’s feet dangling off a dock over water. The bride requested an oak leaf and a maple leaf as figure pieces for her puzzle.

The last puzzle shown here is the little 3.5″ x 5″ vintage Santa puzzle. I’d advertised this with a proposed 25 pieces, but my piece size is getting smaller all the time so this particular puzzle ended up with 42 pieces. I employed color-line cutting wherever possible.

I sell holiday puzzles and other art puzzles in my BellaPuzzles shop on Etsy.
