There’s just something about this one. For me it embodies the distilled essence of “puzzle” (admittedly, as judged by my spoiled Artifact standard). It has everything: outstanding image, clean design, fantastic whimsies, Goldilocks zone for difficulty. I am utterly captivated by its perfection. It will not hit you over the head with flashiness, but listen carefully and you may hear it whisper “I am a perfect puzzle”.

This painting reminiscent of Goldilocks' tale definitely brings comfort. Cozy setting with soothing colors and even the slippers are hilariously cute! Dog lovers will totally flip over the many dog whimsies and the bones connectors. I love how some whimsies are objects present in the image: the lone bulldog on a sofa is very meta-meta. The grid for the pieces brings some jazz to the perfect order of the image. For example, the floor lamp is inside a wavy line of pieces, which makes its post look less straight, or about to dance. This puzzle is a perfect balance of cuteness and humor. Difficult not to love it.

I have a few puzzle friends and we share puzzles. I always get my puzzles back and in good condition. My one puzzle friend has a young grandchild who was not so pleased to return this puzzle. It seems all the special dog shaped pieces made this puzzle just too good to return.
Ah, to see the world thru the eyes of a child once again. I have since been told by several folks that of all my puzzles this is their sentimental favorite. I think to view the world thru the eyes of an innocent child is a singular grace. Maybe a few readers may have dog loving tykes of their own? Consider this the most earnest of recommendations from the most innocent of souls.

I'm a bit embarrassed to say I am closing in on my 100th Artifact puzzle, but I find such pleasure in them. I am working on this delightful puzzle now. I'm posting ahead of completion to share one of the ways I engage with these wooden puzzles. I'm on a three-night work trip right now, and, as has become my custom, I ordered a puzzle from Amazon to be delivered to my hotel the day of my arrival. It is a gift to myself for having to be away. During any down time I leave the television off and enjoy the quiet, contemplative time working on the new puzzle. They are such gifts!

I received this puzzle as a gift and is the first time I've done this type of jigsaw. It was really a delight to do, more intricate than expected and beautifully made, rendering the gorgeous painting wonderfully well and allowing a greater appreciation of the artwork. It's a favourite already and will surely withstand redoing by many hands. Thoroughly recommended!
