To Fetch or Not to Fetch by John Cuneo – NY Puzzle Co. – 500 pieces

I like the image of this New Yorker cover, although the painterly style sometimes made for a more challenging assembly. It’s a well made puzzle, good quality – but it isn’t for beginners.

The border of this one needed a big straw (it sucked) – but only on the side with the black stripe. It was so dark, and a couple of pieces seemed to fit where they did not belong; that’s one thing I despise in a puzzle, I like to know when a piece fits that it’s the correct one. Several pieces that fit perfectly in the same space is so annoying!

Otherwise this was an entertaining assembly, there was a LOT of grass, but there’s enough shading, etc. so it didn’t seem too insurmountable.

This is what it looked like once I’d put in every piece that had something other than green – the rest were all shades of green. Not much fun, but once it was finished I was glad I kept at it. Yay me!
