Iguanadon Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 As many of you know I live at the beach and have been selling puzzles for almost a year. I came up with this idea last week and had Harvey Byler draw them up for me and I cut them today. I live in Carolina Beach and just 2 miles down the road is Kure Beach. The two beach communities here on the island. I'm thinking of offering them with the blue base as well as the natural color base. What do you think? The original SEA TURTLE and DOLPHIN I always painted the base blue. See pictures. Let me know what you think. lawson56 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOE_M Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 I like the blue and the blue-green bases. The letters on the top part are a bit hard for me to read, but I suppose if I was actually in/on Carolina beach or Kure beach I'd recognize it faster.

I realized my camera angle wasn't great... see if this helps with the letter recognition... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWSUDEKUM Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 They all are great but I like the colored bases the best. Well done. Thanks for sharing them with us. DW Iguanadon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meflick Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Iggy, I really like them both. My husband had just got home and was looking over my shoulder and said he likes the ones with the blue better. Iguanadon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iguanadon Posted May 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 FYI, I didn't like the last 'A' in CAROLINA as it was drawn, so I just modified the pattern and will cut the new version tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatie Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 I prefer the blue bases it brings them to life. Oh and I agree about the last A in Carolina. Marg Iguanadon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 I think the colour adds something but what about doing just the word "Beach" in colour and leaving the two end pieces natural? That would make the "Beach" stand out even more but you would lose the nice contrast where the dolphin nose and tail enter the water. Just a thought, but maybe you can experiment and see what you like. Rob Iguanadon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawson56 Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 Iggy I agree with the rest I like the painted base's as well.It pops out at ya,and lets the rest of the puzzle do the same,a real Eyecatcher,as is all your puzzles.
