embodying strategic minds at work

but I've not been able to get it to engage

I've been finding myself attracted of late to objects that are all about form and materiality

leaves and vines

which I grabbed right away in a manner very much like the way this talon grabs its bowl

Lovely Little German Parquetry Puzzle in Original Box make do game embodying strategic minds at workI'm always on the hunt for older parquetry puzzles like this, so lovely, but they are hard to find. This is just a little one, German, c. 1920s or so, but it's in perfect shape, in the original box, with tri fold booklet showing a variety of designs to be made with the tiles. I do sometimes think I should devote myself entirely to searching for beautiful blocks and related objects of creative play so many good things rolled up into them. 3 1 16" x 7
