Looks like I’ve got the bare necessities of the characters done 😉 Mowgli, Baloo and Bagheera are mostly finished, just a few pieces needed here or there.

I started on the large rock, and boy is that going to be fun. Close up the pieces just look mottled and it is sometimes difficult to recognize the correct piece because the colors change abruptly at some points, even within the light shades. But if it were super easy, I don’t think it would be as much fun.

More work on the rock tomorrow, I don’t know if I’ll be able to get it done but I’m going to try! After the rock, it’s pretty much going to be shades of green for the rest of the puzzle. Just like Peter Pan was all shades of blue after the characters were complete. I got through Peter Pan, and I can definitely get through The Jungle Book!

Filmstrip – finished! I had a little help with it, so it did go faster than normal. It looks great, doesn’t it?

Tomorrow I’ll fill in the dark blue with stars below the film; there isn’t much so it won’t take much time at all.  Then I think I’ll either work on putting together Bagheera or the big rock beside Baloo.  I’m not sure which one will capture my interest.

I haven’t been spending as much time as I would like working on the puzzle as I’ve been feeling terrible.  I hope to be able to work on it more this weekend, because next week will be a busy one for me. 😐 Ick!

Baloo got finished today, and he looks happy about it! Lots of grey and brown, but it wasn’t too difficult. I wasn’t able to work on it as much as I’d have liked today, and by 6 pm I was done for the day. But I’m happy that I was able to get him assembled at least.

Tomorrow I’ll be working on the filmstrip in the morning and hopefully in the evening if I’m feeling up to it. It attaches to the large flower directly below Baloo’s legs and I’ll be able to get the entire section centered on the board and get that large portion attached and placed where it should be. Besides all that, the filmstrip is my favorite part to assemble. 🙂

Finally got started today, didn’t get as much done as I’d hoped. Mowgli is done except for his hair, all the pink flowers are done, and Baloo and Bagheera both have their faces.

I had a horrible day and wasn’t able to work on it in the afternoon or evening at all. Here’s hoping tomorrow is a better day.

Monday 12-05-16 40% Done!

16,128 pieces assembled, 24,192 to go!

Section number 4 complete!  It didn’t take long at all today, there weren’t many pieces left.  I’m so proud of myself, this section was difficult!

So 15 days for this puzzle, not too shabby. It was a nice change after finishing Dumbo to have 4 larger characters to assemble instead of one huge character. The filmstrip is always fun, and because this is a corner there was twice as much filmstrip to assemble. This section was a challenge, but I still enjoyed it very much.

So, onto the next section – The Jungle Book. There’s a lot of green, but it’ll be a nice change from all the blue. 🙂 It won’t be a walk in the park either, but I still plan on having a great time assembling it. Besides, this one is my favorite Disney movie and I LOVE the music from it. It’ll be fun listening to the soundtrack while I work.

There are lots of plants and water, little splashes of color with the flowers, a very large rock and of course Mowgli, Baloo and Bagheera. A beautiful image and I’m very excited to get going on it. And when The Jungle Book is complete I will be halfway done! WOW!
