Thick arrow pointing to the left and up, made from plenty of colorful jigsaw puzzle pieces separated on white background.
Puzzle face up got damaged recently and couldnt use her as model... But finally today managed to finish her again.
Wanted her to look the same.... but ended even prettier :3
A while ago I bought two puzzles cut by Enid Stocken. Both have the same box (one (with less pieces!) a bit larger then the other). The boxes are very similar to the Leisure and Pleasure boxes I've seen, but no mention of it. They are both very early puzzles, both have a swastika figural. They are both in very nice condition and all original.
The first Customer has some pieces that fit (better) from underneath, later ones don’t have these ‘mistakes’, so I think this is also a sign that it is a very early one.
I really like the figural of the man with a goatee in The first Customer, very up to date! Love the airplane, crocodiles and palmtree too.
The pictures on the right are of 'Village snow Scene' and the ones on the left of 'The first Customer'. And a picture of the boxes. The First Customer has a title, the other one only a line from a verse???

"GUSTAVO NOVOA
Gustavo Novoa is the only son of a family of lawyers from Santiago, Chile. He attended the Academy of Fine Arts and Law School there, only to learn that structured careers were not for him.
Novoa made his debut as an artist in the early ‘60’s selling watercolors and works in crayon in the streets of Paris, principally Montmartre. His first one-man show was sponsored by the Chilean Ambassador at the Maison de L’Amerique Latine in 1961. The late Queen Victoria Eugenia of Spain sponsored his second show in Lausanne, Switzerland in 1962. Showing in galleries In the Faubourg St. Honore and the Salon de la Jeune Peninture completed his Parisian background but, by 1965, he had become an adoptive “New Yorker.” He admits to having been “lured like many others by the American Dream on one hand and such movies as ‘West Side Story,’ ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s,’ and ‘The Wizard of Oz’ on the other.”
A successful partnership with Guy Burgos and later Lady Sarah Spencer Churchill led to the opening of the Burgos Gallery on Manhattan’s East Side in 1965. By then his style had evolved into textured oils that the New York Times critic Studart Preston reviewed saying, “What Novoa seeks to discover in his often fanciful landscapes and still-lifes is their identity, that special something that makes them unique.” By the late sixties however Novoa’s subject had changed into those gentle jungle denizens that were to be his trademark for the next 15 years.
“Bonds with reality are very hard to shake once you establish them.” With this premise in mind Novoa constructed, without the help of the real jungle or zoos, a new Paradise of mystical serenity. The environment he created exceeded the limitations of Time and Space. Panthers, lions, zebras, tigers, elephants, peacocks, and rhinos, deprived of their ferocity, seemed to observe the observer with wise and amused tolerance.
Novoa’s one-man shoes of the early 70’s in New York, Paris, Palm Beach and Beverly Hills established him as a champion of ecology and wild-life preservation. His animals were primitive and painted in lush and colorful backgrounds. The publication, in 1977, of his book, “Jungle Fables,” for which he both wrote the text and executed the paintings, was a collection of rhymes on “Vice and Virtue” that gave a new dimension to his animals making them more anthropomorphic and philosophical.
By 1981, Novoa’s paintings had changed again: His show, “The Grand Tour,” sent his animals prowling the major cities of the world, from the Spanish Steps in Rome to the Left Bank in Paris through the Great Pyramids and back to Park Avenue in New York. It was perhaps the most surrealist of Novoa’s shows.
In 1983, a series of shows entitled “Rainbow” opened in Chicago, Palm Beach, and Beverly Hills. From the arc of that rainbow Novoa’s animals shifted their attention to outer space, becoming transfixed by astral phenomena, seeking to unravel the meaning of full and crescent moons, sunrise and sunset, the alignment of the plants, the rings of Saturn, the passage of Venus and Mars. This was the theme of his last lone-man show, “Moon Lovers and Others,” at the Wally Findlay Galleries in New York in February of 1985. But by Fall of 1985, after their creator had spent time in Santa Fe, New Mexico, these jungle characters seem to have gotten lost in outer space.
Novoa instead has returned to his palette knife paintings from the 60’s with a new style and a new subject matter. He depicts the Arizona desert and the Indian pueblos with haunting and surreal qualities under heavy impasto. He calls it his “adobe” period."

Bella Puzzles cut our names into the puzzle. Guests wrote messages on the back of each piece. The one from our pastor (my friend Adam) says "May the rocks in your path be made of gold... not crack"

This book covers the spectrum of puzzles, from simple to complex, with a focus on construction. Your friends and relatives will rue the day you brought this home!
Try your best to solve this fun little puzzle. Will you be able to put the blocks in position such that they make a perfect cube?
I got this puzzle years ago at the Postal Museum in downtown DC. I finally tackled it a few months ago...
Puzzle is a weird word. Woah! Freaky.
Anyways, this is the puzzle we were working on. I did basically the whole sky.
A puzzle advertisement we created for our photography and design business. I was looking for a puzzle texture but had trouble finding a good one.
The ad was for a free session promotion.
Puzzling at Aunt Betty's home, Erie, PA....(Aunt Betty found the missing piece on the kitchen floor -- no egg on our faces this time!)
Around Christmas each year I clear off the table and do a few puzzles. I have a few in my collection that I put together over and over again, but every year or two I buy a new one. When I was in Cincinnati in early November I picked up a new Ravensberger 'Road Trip USA' for this week. It was a fairly easy puzzle, we opened it up Tuesday night and finished it the next morning. It's a fun one though, I love the theme!

Holdson number two and another winner. The colour palette here was a cooler one, but just as appealing. Check out the cute sleeping dog at bottom left! Again, a keeper.

Puzzle 37
I ordered a puzzle from Big Huge Labs and it came today. I'm really pleased with the quality of it. I bought it for my Mom. She has been doing a lot of puzzles lately to keep her mind on other things besides her health. Tomorrow is the start of an unknown journey. I will be by her side. I hope for an easy, tolerable day. If you can find a second to say a little prayer, I just know it will help.
Love Marina
