Note

Silver puzzle box by Nancy Bonnema; silver ferule by Victoria Takahashi; Lampwork glass beads by Daniel Adams The antique key is stoppered by an eraser. Inside are small polymer balls to play the Chinese Checkers game. The Ludo (Parcheesi) board is set over felt so the lampworked pins can be stuck into the base when playing the game. The puzzle box includes a jigsaw puzzle piece as the latch. The mosaic includes the initials of all the artists and the year it was made. Cynthia’s hand bound book includes some basic puzzles. Cynthia & Dan sit every morning to work on puzzles before starting their day.
