I normally cut my Geometric Pattern Puzzles in my Long Round cutting style. I include a "Fractagon" shaped puzzle piece in each of my full sized Geometric puzzles. "Fractagon" is a name I coined from "Fractal Polygon". Although my puzzles are not based on Fractals, some of the images suggest Fractals, and I thought my Fractagon would be a cool piece to include in each of my full sized Geometric Pattern Puzzles. There was a time when "Fractagon" was used for a search on Google, Google would return pages from this website and nothing else!

Notes:

In late 2002 I decided to introduce new Geometric Pattern puzzles at the rate of just one a year: one each December.

In 2003, I changed my mind and decided to make it a semi-annual event, but then shortly after the Synthesized Serendipity auction, I changed my mind and went back to offering them just once a year.

On August 3, 2003, I decided to use the 100 Puzzles Project as the exclusive vehicle to introduce Geometric Pattern Puzzles, and any image previously offered here that had not received an order was removed from this section.

The December 2003 puzzle The Magnificent Flowscape Pattern was delayed due to a severe shoulder injury and was auctioned in March of 2004.

The 100 Puzzles Project came to an end in July 2010. I introduced a new pattern, Iterated V Pattern, in August 2010 for the 10th Puzzle Parley held in August 2010 in Salem, MA. Pentagons & Triangles was introduced in the 2012 Puzzle Parley. The Crystal Pattern was the 5th in the series of Annual Auctions.
