Another Puzzle

[John B]

Another puzzle to add to my collection.
I think I will try #3 blade next time, although I have to be careful as the paint fills up the cuts pretty quickly. I don't like the pieces to be too tight as it frustrates the kiddies.
I used an Olson Mac 7 to cut the perimeter and a PG#5 for internal cuts.

Those are really cute....How do you paint the eyes so perfectly?

I really love those! The combination of colors and the shape of the puzzle pieces really work amazingly with it being a giraffe. Those are eyecatchers and I'm betting will be good sellers.

Nice projects. I love these little guys. I am thinking about cutting some animal puzzles for four of my 2 and 3 year old grand kids this Christmas. These sure would work well for that. Great job. The great painting jobs really make them pop

Thanks Paul.
The eyes are "Googly) eyes which I set in to the timber and fix with superglue.

Like these

If only I could paint like that

Thanks Charlie.
We went to a Markets in Coolgardie on Sunday, about 1/2 hour away from home.
Two different people bought these two, one while we were still setting up another about 15 minutes after the official opening.

I’m not surprised. I showed them to my 5 year old granddaughter and she said, “Woah!” Whatever you’re charging, charge more!
