Trevell Delivery!
May 2, 2023I was over the moon a few months ago when I received an extra large parcel from overseas - I’d been awaiting it eagerly, and I was not disappointed! The lovely folks at Trevell generously sent me a box full of my own puzzles; including “Art Gallery”, “Country Kitchen”, “At The Library”, “Autumn Cottage” and “Tea House”, along with some of the minis!
It’s not just a fun treat to get to see the puzzles in real life, but it also gives me the opportunity to build the puzzles myself and reflect on parts that I feel are working and parts that I feel could be improved in the future. Are purples printing too dark? Maybe these subtle gradients are too subtle! I also carefully read reviews and compliments on people’s social media posts to see what parts people are loving - I’m really pleased to see that the response to these puzzles has been amazing! I am particularly happy that people are enjoying putting the library puzzle together, I spent almost a full day just labelling every book - I’m so glad it paid off.
I couldn’t be happier with how the puzzles turned out - the print is true to the original illustration and the pieces are all perfectly formed. The minis are really great too, and Trevell has recently announced they’re doing a small puzzle subscription box too so that’s extra fun. Loving the subtle branding updates that Trevell has been working into their packaging too. I promptly stuck the little sticker right onto my fridge. It’s a place of honour!
I was also treated to these bonus presents! These are beautiful mini puzzles by the Estonian artist Laivi Põder, and I love the meticulous and naturalistic detail that they use in their art. I wish I could hop right into any of these wonderful little puzzles.
I’m so grateful to Trevell for sending me this box of treasures, it was just like Christmas morning getting to open everything. I’m also so grateful for everyone that takes the time to share a post, write a review, film a video or just take a moment to comment on my art. It means so much to me to be see people enjoying something that I enjoy making. Thanks et merci beaucoup!
