I have finished a 50 card run of the Christmas card in red ink. These will need to dry before I can do the black on the reverse. That should give me time to at least carve the block for the reverse side now!
On the puzzle front here are a couple of in progress shots just to show a little of how I go about doing it. I don't know if other puzzle cutters approach it the same way or not. There are a fair number of them out there that do this as a business.

| Again, I use a frame to keep it all together and place each piece as I cut it. Here the edge is all cut out. |
 |
| That leaves a a large middle piece to keep moving forward with. |

I skewed it here just to show a bit more of what is going on.
On the second pass I'll probably start cutting out at least a couple of the whimsies based on their locations. I also want to use as few pieces as possible for the face, I don't want to cut up poor Roscoe to much. |
