Last Christmas, Tom received several small wooden puzzles from Debby, Tim, and me. They come in their own wooden box with a picture of the completed puzzle, and many of the pieces are cut into the shapes of animals, like this. (I should have photographed them with something to give you a better idea of their tiny scale.)
This is the first of his puzzles he’s done: an octopus.
He said assembling this type of puzzle requires a different process from the usual puzzles we do. I think the end result is beautiful, and I look forward to seeing the others.
