Crossword	Date	Comment
On the scooter	22 December 2017, 20:06	Funny how the sun is always on the horizon. Maybe it is, six months a year, in parts of the Russian-speaking world. (I'm joking--I know they do it to fill in space. But why not a bird? A branch? A UFO?) (Wait! I said I wouldn't be negative until I tried to design one of these myself... clearly I am not me today...)
Sing, bird	22 December 2017, 19:41	Challenging.
A mother's love	22 December 2017, 19:15	Quite the accomplishment for a small space and quite identifiable from the thumbnail (although the gangsta works, too). Nice design.
Master Yoda	22 December 2017, 2:07	Excellent, Irina! A lot of character and detail in a small space!
Bunny	22 December 2017, 0:49	Every time I see this picture I snicker... really amusing, FF! The beauty of humor is captured here!
Queen with cello	22 December 2017, 0:47	Спасибо за прекрасный кроссворд! Спасибо! Спасибо!
Black cat	22 December 2017, 0:43	I appreciate your work in black and white. It is interesting and beautiful.
Cuttlefish	22 December 2017, 0:18	When I came back to the thumbnail, the cuttlefish jumped out at me. I'd been looking at it all wrong. It's an amazing picture all of the sudden!
A woman with a stroller	21 December 2017, 23:26	Oh, and by the way, my cheating is very logical and carefully considered for maximum impact. ;)
A woman with a stroller	21 December 2017, 23:25	I suspect that what is considered logic by some is considered guessing or trial and error by others. But please continue this heated discussion as the nonogram Olympics are certainly right around the corner (haha!). Personally, I do them for relaxation and if I'm real tense I may start by cheating. So there!
Houseplant	21 December 2017, 23:12	Nice hint, TC.
The Fox and the crane	21 December 2017, 22:56	Aesop's fables.
Georgians	21 December 2017, 22:44	I suspect this refers to the Republic of Georgia, where Russian is spoken. Alexander may be Georgian, as he does not indicate his place of origin. As for the "in joke," I could ask my Georgian friends... but maybe not, just in case... ;)
Lady	21 December 2017, 21:13	OMG, I was looking at the thumbnail all wrong. I didn't get it until I saw the title! Very nice!
Lady	21 December 2017, 21:11	Here's one that's easier to see in the larger version than in the thumbnail, imho. Very challenging. Impressive! I love your work, Tverianka!
Cat	21 December 2017, 19:27	I feel that way about everything on the Internet, TC! But in it comes!
Saxophone	21 December 2017, 19:10	Good one, zekko!
Bird	21 December 2017, 18:28	I understand that puzzles that were once difficult became much easier with experience. And challenges I could have met happily when healthy may be too frustrating when sick. It's not a contest. There's no shame in using hints or cheating if that's what you need to do to enjoy yourself. Why am I writing this? No one will read it. Haha!
Dinosaur	21 December 2017, 18:14	You're right, Marycha! Please complain as I cannot delete my comment... ; )
Dragon	21 December 2017, 7:18	Beautiful. You give your characters real character, Tverianka! And you give us a real challenge. Thank you!
Sparrow the gentleman	21 December 2017, 4:53	Tverianka, you design beautiful black and white crosswords making creative use of negative space and--I don't know how you do this--but making them fun and challenging to solve. Really well done!
Ant	21 December 2017, 3:02	Ants are famous for being able to carry more than their own weight, although this might be just a leaf.
The volcano	19 December 2017, 23:15	I don't think this person ever actually saw one of these in action... The one in our neighborhood looked more like a mushroom cloud that just kept going and going...
Cheburashka	19 December 2017, 8:45	Excellent!
Mouse	19 December 2017, 8:21	So cute!
Winter is coming!	19 December 2017, 6:50	Fun!
Emily (Stardew Valley)	19 December 2017, 4:41	I'm not familiar with the characters you draw, but the thumbnail on this one is amazing. You did a great job blending the colors--you did a beautiful job, for example, for capturing the blue/black hair. Thank you!
Cat	17 December 2017, 13:02	Nice reversal of the whiskers.
In the sea	17 December 2017, 8:37	I really like this, Arina.
Giraffes	17 December 2017, 8:01	Captures the feel of the creatures at sunset. Creative use of color. Very nice!
Avocado	17 December 2017, 7:15	Well, I thought it was going to be a green lute. I hadn't imagined avocados in Russia...
Hummingbird	17 December 2017, 5:04	Nice job, Katerina! Спасибо за прекрасный кроссворд!
Fox	17 December 2017, 4:32	So fun to work on! Love the colors! Love the personality!
Black currant	16 December 2017, 22:25	I thought it was going to be a crow with an attitude. I've never seen a black currant. We have black berries here--like raspberries only they smell and taste better and are considered weeds because they are brambles and take over the garden. Fun puzzle!
Jump	16 December 2017, 22:00	Alien creature perhaps? An undiscovered member of the dinosaur family, tiny variety? Or laboratory experiment crossing a frog (green), cat or lizard (tail), fish (one eye) every kind of baby (big eye), and a hippo (what I was sure it was going to be)? Not sure the foot/feet is/are functional. Very creative. Definitely cute. Fun. I appreciate these unconventional crosswords.
Duck	16 December 2017, 20:32	Poor thing looks a bit crazed.
Buzz Lightyear	14 December 2017, 20:46	It's cute. Who's Buzz Lightyear?
Elephant	14 December 2017, 8:30	Such a big animal in such a tiny cage. It's a miracle! ;)
The man in the cylinder	14 December 2017, 5:10	Fun to solve!
Daffodil	14 December 2017, 4:25	Wow! Lovely. I wish I knew the words to describe how this style is different... I love these. They are everywhere in the spring.
Candle	14 December 2017, 4:11	Beautiful!
Self-Portrait	14 December 2017, 3:50	Very clever! I enjoy the SB-esque art period we are entering.
Bear	14 December 2017, 2:20	Sweet was my first reaction, too.
Hide and Seek	14 December 2017, 2:00	What fun! Difficult to predict the outcome. It seems to me that all puzzles start out with a 2.5 rating and then we vote them up to the rating they deserve?
Fortune Teller	14 December 2017, 1:37	Amazing what you can do in such a small space! Nice!
Mountain	13 December 2017, 18:53	Nice!
Kitten	13 December 2017, 18:06	Beautiful, creative, and challenging. You're an amazing artist, Tverianka!
Butterfly	13 December 2017, 6:38	Oh! How lovely! I didn't see that coming!
Cats	11 December 2017, 23:57	Amazing! Very, very well done! I am impressed and awed.
Dog	11 December 2017, 23:31	Beautiful!
