Summer Medley by Mandy Budan
Artist: Mandy Budan
Puzzle Designer: Jasen Robillard
Dimensions: 23 cm x 30.5 cm
Piece Count: 207
Difficulty: 3 out of 5
The first puzzle in our launch campaign is relatively challenging for its size due to the higher proportion of line cuts and the relatively dispersed color palette. Mandy's beautiful art is a natural fit for puzzles and we hope to feature many other of her works in the future.
Made in Canada.
Beautiful and challenging
Summer Medley was my first StumpCraft puzzle, and it won't be the last. I love Mandy Budan's designs and this size of puzzle made working this beautiful image manageable for me while still presenting a challenge. The pieces are thick, fit well together and the finish somehow varies from matte to shiny in some areas. The cut is very interesting, almost devilish(!) and super fun. All the materials were of excellent quality. Great puzzling experience and looking forward to more.
A Double Challenge

First impression for my shipment of four Stumpcraft wooden jigsaw puzzles
Hello friends. I'm writing to you from Turkey/Türkiye. I have a student of mine doing his PhD in Montreal. Yesterday he came back for holiday, and I at last was able to receive my fantastic Stumpcraft puzzles - and four of them. I've checked all the pieces and they are all healthy. Now I'll have some good time with your state of the art products of mine. Thank you for your ingenous work
a small, more accessible taste of Falling
I LOVED Mandy's art in Falling, and the puzzle was a very pleasant bit of torture. As with that one, they've made very insidious cuts separating colors, and numerous deceptive but delightful shapes. Mandy's style is still thrilling here; in Falling, this made an urban setting feel more organic; in Summer Medley, the same style makes organic things feel more manufactured, yet viciously organic.
