Recently I showed one of the jigsaws that I was given on my recent birthday. I started it almost immediately and it is finished but I didn't take a photo.
It was quite a tricky one and took some concentration.
I am working my way through the Awesome Alphabet jigsaws by Colin Thompson as they are produced. Here is 'F and G' - the second puzzle received as a birthday present.
Easier to appreciate with the photo from the box.
A good friend - who also is a jigsaw fan - came round for the day on the 12th and we finished it together. Then we started a new one that I had bought some time ago. It needed thinking about before I started it so my friend and I started it off and then on the 17th two more friends were inveigled to help with it - after I had fed them lunch with wine. I was so pleased to find more jigsaw enthusiasts. I only managed to finish it by myself last Saturday
It proved to be as difficult as it looks. I can't bear to put it back in its box so I am going to frame it.
Now I have another new one on the go. Yet another Colin Thompson one - called 'The Treasures of Time'.

This looks to be as tricky but time will tell.
'Awesome Alphabet' letter H is already on my wish list.

What a wonderful collection Carol. My sister is very into puzzles, she likes to do the 500 piece ones as they fit on those little tables you can buy. She has a mat that fits it perfectly.

Those are quite a collection of puzzles, Carol. That first one is a very popular scene to copycat at these painting classes, Painting with a ?Twist and the like. My daughter gave me a painting she did at one and it is very similar to the walkway with the trees and lights. I love it but I do appreciate how complicated and tricky it was as a puzzle. Glad to know you can still do them as you love them. Happy weekend to you! xoxo
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy Carol. I have recently got myself hooked on diamond art painting. Painting by numbers but with little beads instead of paint. I have about 6 under my desk waiting for me to start on but I must finish one at a time or I will get in such a muddle.
ReplyDeleteGreat jigsaws, I like the F and G but they all look hard, I recently found a jigsaw app for my Ipad they have a free one every day, plus some free groups of jigsaws such as christmas or Easter, and now a colouring app for hubby's kindle which if I cant sleep I do at night. Have a lovely weekend and enjoy the beautiful weather
