Welcome to the 100 Puzzles Project!
John Stokes
of
Custom Puzzle Craft
has embarked on a Major Project:
Besides the regular business of Custom Puzzle Craft
Make and Auction 100 puzzles
at the rate of One Puzzle a Month or less
Until 100 Puzzles Are Made and Auctioned.
The 100 Puzzles Project
Only one Puzzle will be offered for Auction each month
Sometimes a month or two may be skipped.
Skipped months will not be made up by offering more than one puzzle in a following month
Instead, the duration of the Project will be Extended
Thus the Project will still be in progress in the year 2009 (oops 2010!)
A month's slot is used when an Auction begins, not when it ends
The Monthly Auctions are currently being conducted on eBay.
This is a long campaign! 100 puzzles!
How will this Project Unfold?
What kind of Creative Jigsaw Puzzles will John be making when the project ends?
What will the world be like?
The First Puzzle in the 100 Puzzles Project was auctioned in April, 2000.
Already the world has changed a lot.

The 100 Puzzles Project
Auction Policy
Every 100 Puzzles Project jigsaw puzzle auctioned by Custom Puzzle Craft is a first time puzzle. This means a Custom Puzzle Craft puzzle with the same picture was never made for sale by Custom Puzzle Craft prior to the one being auctioned.
Puzzles with a picture used in a 100 Puzzles Project puzzle may be subsequently made and offered for sale on this website, trade shows or anyplace Custom Puzzle Craft conducts business - and always - for a higher price than sold via auction, regardless the number of pieces, for a puzzle in the same or larger size.
Policy does not apply to Art Objects.
