Sometimes in these Puzzling Times it helps to just FIDDL' WIDDIT. You might just be pleased with the outcome. Our lightweight classic or original entanglement brainteasers are all handmade, brazed and polished with pride in Bodega Bay, CA, USA

    Entanglement puzzles date back to before the Christian Era, and may still be found in many parts of the world. They have been popular in the New World since colonial days, having come here with the then new settlers. There was a flurry of inventive design with such puzzles at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries here as well as in Europe. This was the period of greatest commercial interest in what had formerly been a product made exclusively by hand. Passionate interest remains alive among puzzle collectors worldwide, especially for handmade originals.

  We currently make 20 different models of  puzzles. Heart to Heart  just happens to be our latest addition. We've tweaked an old standard for our version by making some formerly rigid parts into floppy ones. You'd be surprised how that one little touch increases the difficulty a notch, from Basic to Intermediate. A pair of hearts...some floppy rings...What's not to like?  The price range for our puzzles is between $7.50 and $27.50. A fair number of our products are $10.00 or less. Heart to Heart comes in at $9.50. Sealed instructions included in all packages.

    Look for a new "Latest Addition" to our line mid summer 2009. It'll be a tough one that we think you'll like.

    Particularly at Craft Fairs we have the great pleasure of sharing our puzzles with a public which greets them as happy discoveries. In classrooms that we visit, teachers are fascinated with the mental exercise they provide. They are treasures of a creative past that keep curiosity alive in the hands of an inquisitive present.
