This 487 piece puzzle is 15 x 12.”  It was ordered by a member of the BCD, and she wanted a difficult puzzle, noting irregular edge and tricks.  When I was researching possible special figures, I became enamored of the Southwest woven rugs and decided to create a rug pattern for the puzzle.  The result was a puzzle that is not completely interlocking but that has many pieces that are the same shape.  I hope that Bronwen finds it fun to assemble and that it takes a place in her permanent collection.   Though the artist, William Penhallow Henderson, named his painting “Lucero’s Place, Springtime,”  I gave it the name that the native symbols in the rug depict: Butterfly = everlasting life, Sun = happiness.
