still blondeThe Chief Blonde Remarks: Want a change up from today’s fast paced digital toys?  Want to refocus your family time from electronics to something more gentile and conversation producting?

Artifact Wooden Jigsaw Puzzles 2

Conceived in Seattle, Washington,  Artifact Puzzles couples clever designs and stunning artwork to craft laser-cut wooden jigsaw puzzles that will be treasured for generations.  These unique puzzles offer a challenge which upon completion inspires a much deeper satisfaction than any video game ever can.  Along with the vibrant graphics provided by the rich selection of artwork and the designers’ craftsmanship, the puzzle pieces themselves are extremely unique and interesting.  These puzzles promote spatial relation development, art appreciation, creativity, and team-working skills.

I feel in love with Artifact Puzzles, the moment I saw the box.  With an exquisite linen feel and the hidden magnetic closure where a hint to the fun and elegance that laid inside!  I wasn’t disappointed either!  I had so much fun putting this puzzle together…it was super challenging as the wood pieces were not all “typical” puzzle peices.  As you can see in the pictures, many were specialty shapes.  What was super interesting as well, was the mystery figures that emerged as you completed the puzzle! (See arrows pointing to those below).  It was like attaining  levels in today’s video games.

Confession TIME!  I do adore puzzles of any sort…but Artifact puzzles far exceeded my previous experience with puzzles and reminded me of a passion that I want to pick back up…jigsawing!  But now I want all my puzzles to be Artifact puzzles because the experience, surprise, and challenge will be very hard to meet in any other puzzle I try!  Highly Recommend!

    I hope you get to do one today. It’s puzzle day, and these would be perfect. I had to do a double take at the way the pieces are cut. What fun! How timeconsuming to try to do that…..Wow! I can see where this would be a challenge, but a fun one. Enjoy today and I hope you have all the pieces. 🙂

        I like some puzzles, especially Find a Words and brain game puzzles. At the holidays, I really enjoy doing those picture puzzles. For example, “KMNO” might be Noel (No L) in a Figure out the Christmas Carol puzzle. 🙂

    I would like to have the Van Gogh Bridge In The Rain Wooden Jigsaw Puzzle. My husband loves Japanese art and we have many Japanese wood block prints in our house. This puzzle would be fun for us to put together.

    I love the Kevin Sloan Consequences of Hypnosis because it is such a clever painting. I love surreal images. This was a tough choice because there are so many cool images to choose from. I love the norwhal whale one also.
