Many eons ago, my dad designed this puzzle out of some piece of tile-like material (to this day, I don't know what it was). Out of nowhere, I was inspired to recreate this puzzle after seeing meteoGRID's triangle tangram puzzle.

(so, thank you meteoGRID for the inspiration!)

I rage quit printing, hardly printing anything throughout 2024, and abandoned the project and many others; however, something inspired me to dust everything off at the end of the year and start trying again. Fast forward to the present: I actually finished it back in November 2024 but, after much trial and error with grouping and regrouping the shapes and the tray, I can present my dad's tangram puzzle!

This simple-looking puzzle brought me many tears of joy (though frustration during the creation process) and brought back memories of my dad and how creative he was and how much he has continued to inspire me throughout my life to continue always trying to make things. If only he were alive to see it! (He passed away July 2021 :'( )
