March 23, 2017 – My Jigsaw Journal

It’s Bambi! I know I keep saying it, but these guys are so cute!

Thumper now has both his ears (and he’s connected to the edge), and Bambi has a face. He was even easier to put together than Thumper! I’m enjoying this section very much, just like I thought I would. It’s my reward for sticking with this enormous project – saved the best for last! Although, if I had it to do over again (NO THANK YOU), I might have saved Snow White too. So many characters and bright colors, I may have enjoyed her more if I weren’t so overwhelmed with beginning the enormous project. Ah well, I had fun even if it was a little scary at the start.

There were several errands I had to run today, so I only worked in the morning before I went out and left it alone the rest of the day. I’m resting, watching my latest Netflix show, and working on a much smaller puzzle in bed.

Tomorrow will be continuing with Bambi, giving the poor little guy a body and some legs. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to finish him or not, but I’ll make an effort. It may take 2 more days, but it’ll be fun no matter. 🙂

Old Time Rockers (Wasgij Destiny #16) by James Alexander – Jumbo – 1000 pieces

This Wasgij was so much fun! I love the destiny puzzles where they show you a scene from long ago and you have to figure out how it looks now or how the characters have changed. As usual, I’m only showing a tiny bit of the puzzle because I don’t want to spoil the fun for anyone who hasn’t done the puzzle yet. That lady in the picture sure doesn’t look like an old time rocker, does she? 😉

Jumbo is one of the best jigsaw puzzle companies in my opinion, they’re right up there with Ravensburger! The pieces have a wonderful feel, an almost waxy coating, they fit together beautifully (sometimes better than Ravensburger), the piece thickness is excellent, and the it’s just an excellent assembly from beginning to end. Add excellent artists and a wonderful selection and they are right up there at the top!

The rockers in this puzzle were playing a large arena in the 70’s, so where are they now? Still playing large venues, or maybe something smaller? What does everyone look like 40 years later? In some cases, it ain’t pretty! And how has their audience changed? It makes for a fun AND funny puzzle that I highly recommend!
