Chickadee Collage – Hand-Cut Wooden Jigsaw

Paul loves chickadees. This collage brings together multiple photographs into one layered scene — watch for the two at the top fighting over a worm while the rest make their way to the bird feeder. Choose between the extra-whimsy version (figural chickadee pieces throughout) or the line-cut version for a tougher challenge.

The image was photographed by Paul Shepard — Jenell's grandfather and a self-taught photographer in his 80s with a remarkable eye for wildlife and nature. Every puzzle in Paul's collection is a collaboration across three generations: Paul photographs, Marni and Jenell cut.

• Artist: Paul Shepard (photograph)

Puzzle by Knight is a three-generation family business handcrafting heirloom wooden puzzles in Maine. Every piece is cut by hand on a scroll saw — no lasers, no templates, no two puzzles exactly alike.
