Evelyn on Instagram: "Nefertiti on the Nile! What an amazing image … with all its pattern and colors, it was a delight to assemble! 🧩💯 I was always fascinated with ancient Egypt when I was a kid in school. As an adult, Chris and I were lucky enough to catch the King Tut traveling exhibit at the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth. It was just as fascinating as you might imagine! From Wikipedia: “Nefertiti was a queen of the 18th Dynasty of Ancient Egypt, the great royal wife of Pharaoh Akhenaten. The Nefertiti Bust, a stunning limestone and stucco portrait, was discovered in 1912 and is one of the most famous ancient sculptures in the world. Her name is also associated with a standard of female beauty, and many aspects of her life and reign remain a source of historical fascinatio

Evelyn on Instagram: "La Cantrina Del Desierto 💀 This gorgeous image from artist Sebastian “VELA” Valasquez @velaart and @unifiedpieces was an absolute delight to assemble! I loved every second working with these bold, beautiful colors and of course UP’s outstanding quality! The title translates to “The Catrina of the Desert”. Who is La Catrina? - This term refers to the iconic Mexican figure of an elegantly dressed skeleton lady, a major symbol of the Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos). The word “Catrina” derives from “catrín,” which means “dandy” or “well-dressed”. The Day of the Dead in Mexico is a celebration that combines Aztec customs with Christian traditions influenced by Spanish colonial rule. It has evolved into a colorful and symbolic ceremony that has transcended borders

Evelyn on Instagram: "Harvest Scene from artist Nicolai Habbe and @nautiluspuzzles 🌾 I was fortunate to catch this lovely autumnal mini on sale! Info from mutualart.com: Nicolai Habbe was an Australian 19th Century painter who was born in 1827. Nicolai Habbe’s work has been offered at auction multiple times, with realized prices ranging from 123 USD to 2,575 USD, depending on the size and medium of the artwork. I think his work is undervalued. What do you think? 98/2025 . . #jigsaw #puzzler #puzzlebestiesarethebest #ilovepuzzles #hobby #puzzlenerd"

Evelyn on Instagram: "Luminous Autumn! 🍁 What a beautiful tribute to the fall season with this lovely image from Ki Puzzles and Canadian artist @melissamckinnonart! I have really become a fan of Ki puzzles. They use licensed artists from around the world, are a reforestation partner, and have great fit and piece shape variety. If only they were matte finish, but we can’t have it all! And some prefer a glossy shine. This one was a bit challenging, so I am glad it was only 550 pieces. 🧩♥️ 96/2025 . . #jigsaw #puzzler #puzzlebestiesarethebest #ilovepuzzles #hobby #puzzlenerd"

Evelyn on Instagram: "Witch Cat! 🧙🏻‍♀️🐈‍⬛ Is this not the cutest little witch you ever did see? I love this Dreaming series from @heye_puzzle and artist Jeremiah Ketner @smallandround. 🧩 In this post, I am also highlighting the awesome puzzle board @all4jigpuzzleparadise kindly sent me for review. My favorite thing about it is the surface! It makes for excellent photos! 📸💯 It also has a wonderful textured feel that doesn’t allow the pieces to slide away when it’s in the tilt position, but is still easily movable if you need to move sections. It has a tilt position as well as a turntable. I enjoyed the turntable feature more than the tilt. The lighting situation in my puzzle room causes glare in a tilted position. If this is not an issue for you, I am quite certain the tilt featur

Evelyn on Instagram: "The Painted Orca! This gorgeous orca from @nautiluspuzzles was a complete joy to build! I have always been fascinated by these large marine mammals with their distinct black and white coloring (though artistically colorful here!) Did you know that orcas are misnamed as “killer whales”? They are actually the largest species of dolphin. Highly intelligent with distinct vocalizations, they travel in pods with complex social structures and sophisticated hunting strategies. I loved every second I spent with this puzzle! 🧩🥰 91/2025 . . #jigsaw #puzzler #puzzlebestiesarethebest #ilovepuzzles #hobby #puzzlenerd"
