Now, this was a tricky little puzzle, but I really enjoyed it. Once the edges were in place I got the sea and sky in without too much bother, but then the fun began. A load of little people, different buildings, benches and bikes kept me busy for ages and the final result was one of great satisfaction. A gift from a friend - and a very good gift indeed. I wonder who will enjoy it next?
Time taken: small bursts over the course of a week
The last of the 500 pieces from this box and a rather nifty one to end on. I thought that the large expanse of sky would prove difficult, but it wasn't too bad and the illuminated tower was good fun and provided an excellent point of reference for the rest of the picture. Right, better move back to 1000 pieces after Christmas.
Time taken: 3 hours
As I've mentioned before I not only do jigsaws for my own enjoyment, but also to help out other people. I am a jigsaw checker for my local Am Dram group and also help to sell the jigsaws once they have been checked as complete. This is a great way to enjoy lots of different jigsaws that I wouldn't normally buy, as well as helping out a local group very close to my heart. Anyway, here is the Christmas sale table I put together and I am pleased to report that all bar 3 were sold (we had more behind the table ready for when a space became available)....and if this post has got you interested....why not pop down to your local charity shop and offer to check jigsaws for them?
