Hand-Made & Hand-Cut Puzzles:
I produce laminated and magnet-backed laminated Hand-Made puzzles. No two games are cut alike. Lost or damaged pieces cannot be replaced.
Deluxe Games start as an art print on acid-free artist paper or heavy weight card stock. Once laminated they are hand-cut into a variety of shapes and sizes. Deluxe game pieces are placed in a bag with an adhesive flap. This flap permits the bag to be sealed repeatedly. Games may have varied piece counts that can be more or less than indicated. I do not guarantee that each puzzle will have the exact number of pieces indicated. I do my best to come as close to these piece counts as possible.
(Deluxe Games)
$10.00 per game = Double Laminated (about 50 pieces)
$15.00 per game = Double Laminated (about 200 pieces)
$30.00 per game = Double Laminated (about 500 to 1,000 pieces)
$60.00 per game = Double Laminated (about 1,500 to 2,000 pieces)
$80.00 per game = Magnet-backed Laminated (about 500 to 1,000 pieces)
Photo Puzzles:
Now you can submit digital photographs and have them transformed into Hand-Cut Puzzles or Windows-based Jigsaw Puzzles. The type of puzzle you choose will dictate the features avaiable and the cost of that puzzle. When submitting your images please use one of the following file formats: .PNG, .JPG, .BMP, .GIF with the least amount of compression possible. An image resolution of 320 by 240 through 2048 by 1536 is perfectly fine. Smaller pictures will result in a smaller puzzle. I will not edit or crop the image(s) that are submitted.
The size of the puzzle does not limit the number of pieces. Hand-Cut puzzles may have varied piece counts. I will do my best to get the desired number of pieces for your puzzle. Software games can have many thousands of pieces which can be scaled up or down by the player to fit their monitor's screen.
Please DO NOT send Zipped files. They will not be opened. I can include a free text message in your software game on the opening and/or closing screens. If your message is deemed offensive I reserve the right not to include it. Messages for software games cannot be Email or InterNet addresses.
