The Junk Journaler’s Desk by Aimee Stewart – Buffalo – 1000 pieces

There’s just something about an Aimee Stewart image that makes me unbelievably happy. It isn’t just the colors, it’s how they work together, and how so many seemingly disparate things come together to form such a cohesive and pleasing image. Not only is it pleasing to the eye, they’re almost always extremely fun to assemble.

When I was working on this yesterday I was thinking to myself how you couldn’t really tell what’s what on most of the pieces; and then after going through them only once to pull out some pieces I began to recognize colors and textures and have more of an idea where they might go and which pieces would fit together with them. Every time I went through them I got more and more familiar with them and where they belonged.

It’s one of those images where you could use the poster or box image, but I also find it entertaining to just let the pieces take me where they may and eventually it all fits together.

I’m having such a good time that I overdid the puzzling yesterday and am already feeling it this morning. Here’s hoping my pain meds and a few cups of coffee get me back to the board and this gorgeous puzzle quickly!
