Trickier than I thought it would be. I started work with the white areas of each animal, before progressing onto the other fur colours. The rest of the puzzle was full of 'samey' colours which made it not only slightly dull, but difficult as well. That all being said it didn't take too long once I'd got started. 
A very enjoyable morning spent putting this together. I started with the trees which quickly provided me with a focal point and then worked on the orange buildings. The people weren't so small that they were tricky, but were small enough to keep things busy and interesting. The colour variant on the sky was pleasing and overall the puzzle was easy to complete. 
I am often asked to check puzzle for fund raising sales and people have got wind of the fact that I am willing to check 1500 piece puzzles, which the average puzzler doesn't have space for. It soon became apparent that I was pushing my 'puzzling table' to its limits and for quite some time had pieces one on top of the other. However, I soon began to wade through and sections began to hang together. The basket and walls started things off with the flowers finishing the picture. It took my a while, but that was space issues as much as anything else. 
I was asked by a BCD member whether I had ever done a tessellation puzzle...'no', I replied and was promptly presented with this little gem. The picture was beautiful, but it was the cut I found most appealing. As the name suggested the pieces were in little tessellating sets and this made a tricky puzzle a little easier to complete. The quirky edges added extra interest and I thoroughly enjoyed completing it. 
I tackled this little gem at a jigsaw puzzle weekend as my first puzzle of the day. The cut was very interesting and the style reminded me of one of those little puzzles that can be made in several different ways. However, there was of course, just one way to finish this. It didn't take too long - and helped by a friend we soon got it completed. A perfect way to start the day with friends at the BCD.
