There are other handpainted puzzles
on the Layered and 3D page

and on the Children's page.

I was arranging an exhibition of my puzzles in Prestatyn Library when a visitor asked me, "Are they pictures or puzzles?"

In the case of the above painted ones, generally both! They are (except for the Buttercup Fairy) painted directly on to the

sealed wood and then cut - or cut first and then painted (as in Pythagoras).

As there is no pre-existing picture, all the above illustrations are photos of the finished puzzles.

There are also some more handpainted puzzles on the Children's page.
