I am very happy with the service provided on my order from Ailsa. I live locally and was able to collect my 'No Ball Games' jigsaw without any problem. I was very fortunate to meet the jolly matelot (Alan) from some of her/my paintings together with Jack the sheepdog. I have met Ailsa at Spring Fling in Dumfries and Galloway and hope that I will do again when we are free to hold these events.

I LOVE this artist's work! I did first did her jigsaw puzzle 'No Ball Games' and what a joyful experience it was! My partner then bought 'Puffinry', which we hope to do soon. I had to have 'Fluttering Along' because the image is so delightful and we'd both enjoyed the quality of the first one a lot. I've not yet started this puzzle but I did open it and look at all the pieces, which look like the usual high quality cardboard and colours. It does come with a 13x13cm visual reference card, but I find that a full-sized or nearly full-sized poster is what I (and most of my puzzling friends) want to have. So, a bit of disappointment there. The card makes it difficult to see the details of the larger puzzle. Also, the drawstring sack that the puzzle comes in is too narrow/tight for my likes. I'd have preferred a wider storage sack or better yet, a sturdy box which would also hold any poster included (and also hold the puzzle pieces in the protective bag!). So, while it's obviously a quality puzzle and I know I'll enjoy doing it, I give it 4 stars because of the storage issue and too-small reference card.

Ailsa Black is a breathe of fresh air with her spin on all things beautiful and natural and the connection we as humans have with them. Ordered a lovely painting of a mouse, delivered securely and professionally with lovely additions, communication throughout superb. Can't wait to get another for the collection. Thank you so much Scott Weston
