Bloomin' Plumage - Hand-cut by Elms

This puzzle started as a conversation between two people who cut puzzles very differently, and ended as something neither of us could have made alone.

At Fathom Puzzles, I design and laser-cut my puzzles, but hand-cutting is where this whole craft began, and there's a reason it still matters. Every line in a hand-cut puzzle is a decision made in real time, drawn and cut freehand by someone who's spent years training their eye and hand to work together. No two hand-cut puzzles are exactly alike, even from the same pattern. Each one carries the individual touch of the person who cut it, one piece at a time.

Elms Puzzles brought that tradition of hand-cutting to this collaboration. Watch the video below to hear the story of how this puzzle came together.

Each puzzle is made to order and sized to about 200 pieces. Given the handcrafted, one-of-a-kind nature of this piece, please expect a 6-8 week production time.
