These early practice puzzles all had rigid geometric cutting styles - the first three shown were a "rebellion" against the standard horizontal/vertical strip cut style. Puzzle #7 (lower right) was my first venture into pushing the limits with exotic shapes - this puzzle's snowflakes were designed to portend the coming winter weather.
