The Golem heart puzzle is a re-imagining of the snowflake N0.9 puzzle box by Robert Yarger aka Stickman.  Robert approached me with the goal of releasing snowflake in a 3D printed/vacuum cast form and a collaboration quickly got underway. Through exploring the project, we found ways to add design elements and make it something new evolving into the golem heart.

Puzzles are vacuum cast from a polyurethane resin, incorporating various techniques to create something that is as far from looking and feeling like plastic as possible. A standard stone version was created to look like granite, and then two special editions, white Howlite and turquoise. We wanted the final puzzles to have an aesthetic value that would have pride of place on a puzzle display shelf. I was certainly pleased with what we managed to design and produce.
