Loads of Photos from IPP Exchange

Here are my remaining pictures from the Puzzle Exchange. Those of you who collect puzzle will find these interesting. This is one astonishingly intelligent and fun group of people. I was telling my friend how my first IPP was so cool, but the second one was even cooler because I was able to see familar faces, people I had met and it was nice to see them again, to greet them and to be greeted by them!

Will Strijbos - I love these type of puzzles. Try to remove the yellow piece by sliding it into position to remove it through an opening on the bottom.
William Waite - William and I were partners at Dick Hess' wire workshop. William's puzzles looked great. He was really good at bending the wire in proportion and such. Mine however, not so great. William helped me a lot, he understood the mechanics so he could tell whether my puzzles would even work when I bent them poorly. It was fun and he was great!

Nancy Alliegro - Bits and Pieces - her wooden puzzle was beautiful. You can see the little birdie in the center.

Rene Dawir and son


Jurg von Kanel - Jurg was amazing to me. We had some great conversations around puzzles in education. Jurg works for IBM Human Resources and was giving some great insight into the state of education from a business standpoint. What he shared really resonated with me and he helped me out in many ways at the conference. He also gave me one of his puzzles! Very generous! Thanks Jurg!

Kate Jones - Kate is an amazing woman. We share a strong belief that puzzles are an amazing educational tool. She is Andy Liu's favourite puzzle maker. I think he has her entire collection! She is very talented. Here's the link to her company Kadon Enterprises:

Itgel Tumen-Ulzii - Itgel is the first person I've met from Mongolia. Last year I bought a beautiful puzzle ring from him that his dad made. His puzzles are beautiful with there very own character. Here you can see his Kangaroo exchange puzzle he is holding.

Well this is all the photos from the Puzzle Exchange. There were so many other very talented puzzlers that I did not get a picture of! This is by no means a comprehensive photo collection. Maybe next year I'll have a photo of me as one of them, an exchanger! That'd be cool!
