Puzzles From Photographs
There are dozens
of ways to turn your photographs into puzzles and we're ready to work with you
to make the perfect puzzle within your budget guidelines. Only a few of the possibilities
are shown here; we can also brainstorm myriad ideas—as creative as you want
to go.
We've done photo collages—with theater tickets, currency,
wine labels, brochures, maps . . . We even scanned real heather to surround a
castle! Often, we commission artists to create an original painting, working from
photographs or their imaginations to create a scene with the elements you want
to see and the colors and edge style that will make a great puzzle. Sometimes
we combine original artwork and photos electronically for the right image. (We'll
supply the best paper for puzzling.)
Remember, it's the silhouette pieces that really tell the
story. Think carefully about what captures this person's life, interests, experiences,
hobbies, family, pets, favorite places, activities. These special pieces are the
most important part of a custom puzzle. If the image is colorful, it will immediately
engage the puzzler. It's the silhouettes they'll remember.
Call us. We'll let you know if your idea is too crazy for
this world. Chances are it's right up our alley.
