Jiggy Puzzles
JIGGY puzzles showcase artwork from emerging female artists.
During the early days of the pandemic, as we were all confined to our homes and social interactions were put on hold, many of us turned to puzzles for entertainment. Now, a year later, as life edges back toward normalcy, women everywhere are discovering their love for puzzles is here to stay. If you’re on the lookout for a new puzzle that combines artistry with a feminist touch, JIGGY has you covered.
JIGGY, a female-led puzzle company, features designs from “emerging female artists,” who earn a percentage of each puzzle sold. Not only are the puzzles presented in charming and eco-friendly glass jar packaging, but they also come with puzzle glue to help you preserve your creations because “JIGGY puzzles are art — in pieces.”
“The journey of JIGGY began five years ago when founder Lily Thompson was tirelessly working at a startup and found solace in jigsaw puzzles as a form of nightly meditation. She completed a puzzle each week but felt the designs were outdated and somewhat uninspiring,” the brand explains. “Driven by a vision for a puzzle that was both beautiful for assembling and displaying, she aimed to create something that would captivate before, during, and after completion. Passionate about supporting talented female artists, she spent a year curating artwork and redesigning the packaging, leading to the birth of JIGGY.”
Picture yourself piecing together one of these art-driven jigsaws, such as:
Bathing With Flowers
This design by Alja Horvat, an artist from Ljubljana, Slovenia, draws inspiration from the world around her, heavily influenced by the aesthetics of the 60s, 70s, and 80s.
Universe
Crafted by Maryland-based illustrator Zulfa Ishak, known as “The Cosmic Feminist,” this puzzle reflects themes of empowerment, spirituality, and a deep fascination with the cosmos, all while advocating for women’s rights on a universal scale.
Portrait Design 091
This vivid artwork comes from Jamaican designer Natasha Cunningham, who explores color and photography in her popular portrait-a-day series.
Boobs
A playful puzzle where 20% of the proceeds during October will benefit the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and additional partners.
Among other delightful JIGGY puzzles are “Just A Snack” by Emma Repp from Seattle, who creates whimsical imagery through a blend of handmade and digital elements, and “Jungle Cat” by New York artist Mia Rivera, whose work often graces home textiles and stationery.
