Pull up a chair and enjoy the Blue Crab Feast puzzle by artists William Bock and Maria Sotolongo. In short, this 550-piece jigsaw puzzle is sure to be a favorite with blue crab lovers.
About the Artwork
A table full of blue crabs sets the stage for a classic coastal feast. It’s a scene that brings back memories of summer evenings and newspaper-covered tables.
In addition, the bright crabs give you bold shapes and colors to build around. As a result, the puzzle is both fun and satisfying to put together.
It’s a natural fit for anyone who grew up picking crabs on the Chesapeake Bay or the Delmarva shore.
Where to Start
Start with the border, then build the blue crabs, using their color and claws as a guide, since it stands out right away. Next, work on any plates, mallets or table details. After that, piece together the tabletop. Finally, fill in the background, sorting those pieces by shade.

I love crabs and this one will be fun!
This is an awesome company. I live very near the company. I noted it to the customer service person thinking maybe they had a shop to buy the puzzles. Unfortunately they do not have a stand alone shop but the lady offered to give me a tour of their facility the next time I am in town.
