The “wisdom puzzle“ or Tangram is a puzzle that originally came from China. I’ve been fascinated by this seemingly simple game that can be used for so much. Even the great Edgar Allan Poe was intrigued by it. The puzzle consists of seven pieces of specifically cut out parts of a square that can be formed into practically any figure. Sometimes Tangram is described as a puzzle for children and I am sure that a lot of adults find this puzzle as intriguing as I do

I felt so proud when I created my first own model. To be honest, I’ve only created that one, but I’m sure I’ll make more now when I’ve started. This is my butterfly, or maybe I should call it Imago. :)
