COLLECTION NO. 1
We were immediately captivated by the synthesis of color and dialogue in Shawna X’s eerie depiction of a sunset swim. Beneath the surface of this boldly graphic work lies an undercurrent of dark humor — are we piecing together a pool float or a predator? We’ll let you decide.

These puzzles are wonderful. The colors are so exciting. My granddaughter was thrilled when she opened the package. I buy puzzles for her all the time. These undoubtedly got the best response.
This was very enjoyable to work on--not too hard or too easy, and I love the image. It interlocks well so that when it was finished I could pick it up by one edge and carry it to another table to display. There was one piece where the cardboard and the paper with the image had completely separated so that the two parts were loose in the bag when I opened it, but I was able to reunite them and glue them back together, so all was well.
I love the design and the puzzle itself is matte (love - less light reflecting off it). The pieces fit together well and the texture is velvety smooth. Everything about this puzzle is a 10/10.
I enjoyed this puzzle. Only 500 pieces, lovely picture and pieces are’t flimsy. Good for gifts.
From the packaging to the quality of the puzzle; It is worth it. Like seriously, the puzzle pieces feel like velvet. The care and detail that has gone into this entire experience is clearly curated by folks who know what they are doing and living the mission of their company every day.
