Family Portraits
Here, the family wanted to get something special for Mom and Dad
"that already have everything".
A vintage wedding photo was enlarged to 8"x10"
to make a puzzle with about 100 pieces. The piece size is about 1.25 pieces per sq in, just right for new wooden jigsaw puzzle solvers.
The Anniversary date, Aug 25th, was cut into the
puzzle to personalize the gift for
Mom and Dad.

This puzzle was given after the one above and also was an enlargement to 8"x10" from the original smaller photo. I can remove a fair amount of dust and scratches from older photos when scanning them.
The children's initials are cut into their sweaters to personalize the gift to Mom and Dad. The puzzle has about 120 pieces, a little more challenging after Mom and Dad got accustomed to the 100 piece difficulty above.

Pets make great subjects for jigsaw puzzles.
This is a 4"x6" photo puzzle with a contour edge cut, 29 pieces. The original 4x6 photo was scanned. The image was zoomed and reprinted for the contour edge cut.
This was presented as a gift and was quite a surprise for the pet lover. They thought they were receiving a box of chocolates only to find that a mystery awaited them to discover what the image became as it was put together. Of course, they recognized their pets eyes but the challenge was compelling to solve the puzzle as everyone watched at the party.
