Normally I start with the edges, but that isn’t the best way to go with this image – all the edge pieces look mostly the same. I think it will be best to put them in once all the sections on the edge are mostly assembled.
I got the main character’s face assembled and am now working on her hair, along with filling in each of the small sections. I’m having fun with it!
This is the first Wentworth I’ve had that was missing a piece, though to be fair it is most likely my fault and it’s around here somewhere. There are puzzle boxes everywhere, and there’s even a whole bunch of them sitting in the living room at the moment. It’s entirely possible that a box fell on the floor, or someone was looking at the pieces and they didn’t all find their way back into the box. I’m not worried, it’ll show up eventually.
These micro puzzles are a godsend; grownup images, fantastic wooden pieces, and I am able to start and finish the entire thing in one sitting. Nothing wrong with that at all!
The artwork by Dominic Davison is beautiful, but to be honest I’m not sure it would be as enjoyable as a 1000 piece puzzle – at least not for me. Gorgeous scenic vistas are lovely to look at, but not always as lovely to assemble. Of course it’s just personal preference, and there are most likely a bunch of people who would love this as a larger puzzle.
My fabulous daughter got me this personalized travel cup for Mother’s Day – does she know her momma or what? I love it! The letters inside the pieces are the initials of my kids. (She had to explain that to me, but in my defense I had taken my pain meds and my brain cells weren’t fully present)
Happy Mother’s Day to everyone! 💖
I’ve picked this image out of my stash of wooden micro puzzles to work on today – Glenny’s Garden Shop by Steve Read. A lot of flowers in a puzzle can be trying at times, but at 40 pieces I can assemble just about any image!
I’ve also pulled out another flowery image, Roses Around the Door by Stephen Darbishire, again a wooden micro puzzle by Wentworth.
It’s a little fuzzier and brushstroke-y, the kind of artwork that I think is best puzzled in tiny little bits. Perhaps only 40 little bits. 😉
I’m working on building my queue back up, since my mojo seems to have finally gotten a ride back to me and is on the way home. So the plan for today is these two micro puzzles, as well as two of the educational 24 piece kids puzzles that need assembly. After I finish those four my plan is to start working on a 1000 piece collage that I’m very much looking forward to.
So many brights colors and lots of words! Awesome!!!
I started sorting this 500 piece Buffalo puzzle this morning. I’m looking forward to putting together so many signs and words – words to assemble are my happy place. 🙂
Mom and I finished The Messenger yesterday, and I also started and completed a 300 piece after mom went home. Can’t say my mojo is back entirely, but perhaps it’s on it’s way home.
My oldest is driving me to Sam’s Club this morning to pick up a couple of things (and get more driving practice before his road test 😱). I wonder if they have jigsaw puzzles there? Hmmm.
