Mandy was the first artist willing to take the plunge on collaborating with StumpCraft and her inaugural puzzle remains one of our favourites and best sellers. We return to Mandy's bold use of colour and stained glass window geometry in this reflection on Ontario lake life during the glorious autumn season.
The puzzle design focuses strongly on line cuts and a playful take on calm lake reflections. Discover one of Mandy's secret gems in Northern Ontario. It's time for one last camping trip to the backcountry to enjoy the scenery and wildlife, perhaps even a paddle or a windsurf. Marvel at the majestic symmetry of fall colours and puffy cumulus on the mirror stillness of the lake before you.

United KingdomAn autumnal delight
I LOVED this puzzle! The artwork is a sumptuous feast of vibrant autumnal colours - an absolute delight for my eyes and for welcoming in the seasonally cooler weather I'm experiencing. Mandy Budan's art offered clever cutting opportunities which added to the puzzling challenge. Loads of lovely Canadian and autumnal themed whimsies bringing delight to the overall experience. I really enjoyed doing this and having my hands into this high quality product. I live in the UK - the shipping was surprisingly quick! Great customer service, too.

CanadaBeautiful puzzle!
Every StumpCraft puzzle I've done has been so much fun and this one was no exception. I love the colours of this puzzle, and of course finding the whimsies! The pieces feel so nice, and it is so satisfying when you pop the right piece in place. You can really tell the care and thought that has gone into creating these puzzles.
