Just a few minutes ago, my project for Round and Round, a large-format puzzle with 89 pieces, was successfully concluded.

This coming Friday (May 18) is the last day for my new puzzle Frogpond. Both puzzles (as well as Phoenix) are available as rewards for that project. Check it out, and spread the word!

thanks!

What's next?

I'm so very pleased with the Phoenix puzzle, that I'm rarin' to do another! I've sold out of Phoenix, but intend to get more made. Meantime, I've been thinking about my next puzzle project. In fact, there might even be two new puzzles in the works: one with about twice as many pieces as Phoenix, and another with about 50 large (but interesting!) pieces, suitable for kids, as well as folks who might not have the dexterity to deal with the little pieces in the other puzzles.

I'd love to have feedback on these ideas!

Below are two possibilities for the larger puzzle, and an idea for the smaller one:
