The Faces in the Mountain! That’s what my kid called this national monument when we visited it once- many years ago. I thought I would find this puzzle tedious, but like the Boston one, was pleasantly surprised at enjoying it. I’d assumed it would be boring or difficult, with just sky and rock- but there’s actually a lot of variation in hues and texture of the stone. Funny, this one came with fourteen “freebies”- twenty-eight pieces stuck together in pairs because the jigsaw cut wasn’t complete. I didn’t bother to separate them. They’re the ones already assembled in the first picture.
The previous puzzle made my fingers feel a bit grimy, just enough that I’d want to wash my hands afterwards. This one actually caused irritation- I thought perhaps I was imaginging it but then during one session deliberately handled the puzzle with just one hand- and that one my fingers hurt. So I wore disposable gloves, and yes again the fingertips of them were all discolored afterwards.
Finished size about 22 x 15″.
