It’s possible to use AI to have a bit of fun creating jigsaw puzzle designs. This post describes the immortalisation of some of Scotland’s favourite animals by favourite artists – please don’t take this too seriously!
There was a gap in the market for Scottish-themed birthday cards, and Jigsaiz has developed a range of Wee Scottish Poems, irreverant 4-line poems within a tartan frame
Google is the best friend a small business can have.

Google will, in time, become your best friend, but be ready to loose a lot of sleep in the meantime.
Sometimes the strangest things can spark a new design. It can be a chance remark, or, in the case of lucky hedgehogs, custom made holes in our boundary fence to allow unfettered passage to our spiny friends.
AI has been the focus of much vitriol in the media in the last couple of years.

We used to run a research compnay back in the day, and we decided to spice up some of our web pages with fun facts. This post brings you some fun facts about Valentine’s Day, including proof (really) of the fact that Scots really have a romantic streak!
Jigsaiz puzzles are small, have 35 pieces, and are about 5″ by 7″ when built. This post describes how we made sure our customers understand that our puzzles are primarily for adults and older children, not small kids!
I have no problem with copyright, and like many other creatives, benefit from its protection. What I do object to is the use of copyright by large art institutions to create a revenue stream from works where the artist died hundreds of years ago.

This post is about how we addressed these, and produced a product that maintains the element of surprise!
Jigsaw puzzles are an obsession for many people, including me. We’ve created a new kind of puzzle, the greeting card puzzle! The size of a greeting card, but the fun of a jigsaw puzzle. This is my blog about the joys and frustrations of creating greeting card jigsaw puzzles!
