How it’s made

1Original art

Every design starts as hand-made art. Sailor drew the Vashon puzzle art, and Susan painted watercolors of local seashells and water sights for the ornaments.

2Whimsical cuts

Giles designs the puzzle shapes, a playful mix of pieces inspired by the natural surroundings and activities in the artwork, and laser cuts them from plywood sheets.

3Packed with love

Puzzles are sorted and packed at home, in simple cotton bags instead of plastic.
