Life’s a Puzzle

Making Mini Art Puzzles
I love puzzles.
Riddles, mind teasers, codes, crosswords, jigsaw puzzles…I love them all.
​I’m not exactly great at them, but I do love the challenge.
​Do you like puzzles?

I also love paper craft. I like origami, card making, journal making, paper arts of many type. 
So, what does an artist who loves puzzles and paper craft do?
They make art puzzles…
…and then they make the boxes and the labels to package them.

These will be launched at the Akaroa Night Market and will be available for purchase. 
$12 each (plus p+p – they are very small so many will fit in the smallest postage size)
