Temple of the Jaguar
made by Milton Bradley ~ artist Rod Frederick ~ 550 pieces
This puzzle was difficult and took a lot of focus, but I really enjoyed doing it. I thought at first it was a photograph, so meticulously are all the details depicted, but I’m pretty certain it’s from a painting. It was missing three pieces, I made replacements. One is pretty obvious, I feel like the other two blend in well. Acquired from neighborhood free exchange.
Finished size 23.5 x 17.75″. Completed on 1/6/24
A Mother’s Love
made by Bits and pieces ~ artist Tricia Reilly-Matthews ~ 1,000 pieces
Lovely picture, I just thought it so sweet. Much more of a challenge than all the 500-piece puzzles I’d been doing lately. Great piece cut variety, but they did seem small in size. Caused me some finger pain. The colors were so subtle, it was hard to distinguish between them scattered on the board- (especially the kitten’s). I thought that softness of the colors would make the piece edges stand out too much in the end, but actually it had a nice effect. Like a mosaic picture.
Finished size ? (I did this one a while ago now, didn’t measure it and the online catalog says it’s 10 x 7″ I know that’s not correct. More like 24 x 18″ is my guess). Completed on 1/8/24
