JIGGY Puzzles
JIGGY puzzles showcase artwork from up-and-coming female artists.
At the onset of the pandemic, when we were all instructed to stay home and avoid socializing, puzzles became a popular pastime. Fast forward a year, and many women have discovered a newfound love for puzzles, regardless of lockdowns. If you’re seeking a fresh puzzle that embodies a feminist spirit, JIGGY has you covered.
Founded by women, JIGGY offers puzzles featuring art from “emerging female artists,” who earn a share of each puzzle sale. The puzzles come in adorable, eco-friendly glass jar packaging and include puzzle glue, allowing you to frame your creations because “JIGGY puzzles are art — in pieces.”
The origin of JIGGY is rooted in founder Kaylin Marcotte’s experience five years ago, when she was tirelessly working at a startup and found solace in jigsaw puzzles as a form of nightly meditation. She completed one every week but became frustrated with the uninspiring and outdated designs. “She envisioned a puzzle that would be beautiful for both assembly and display, appealing before, during, and after completion. She was determined to support and showcase talented female artists, and after a year of curating art and redesigning packaging, JIGGY was born.”
Imagine enjoying a night of puzzling with these art-inspired jigsaws, like:
Bathing With Flowers
Created by Alja Horvat from Ljubljana, Slovenia, who draws inspiration from her surroundings and the vibrant aesthetics of the 60s, 70s, and 80s.
Universe
This design by Maryland-based illustrator Zulfa Ishak, known as “The Cosmic Feminist,” is influenced by empowerment, spirituality, and her fascination with the galaxies, all while advocating for women’s rights on a cosmic scale.
Portrait Design 091
This lively artwork comes from Jamaican designer and illustrator Natasha Cunningham, who explores color, elements, and photography in her popular portrait-a-day series.
Boobs
This playful puzzle contributes to a good cause, as 20% of its October sales go to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and other partners.
Other delightful JIGGY puzzles include Just A Snack, featuring whimsical creations by Seattle artist Emma Repp, and Jungle Cat, by New York artist Megan Galante, whose work often appears on home textiles like throws and pillows.
JIGGY’s 800-piece puzzles retail for $49, while the 450-piece options are priced at $40. They also offer monthly memberships for avid puzzlers. Check out their offerings on the JIGGY website.
