Another from the 10-puzzle animal pack. I have the same things to say about the quality: thin, flimsy pieces, ribbon cut all one basic shape. Like the others, the picture was cropped on the puzzle, but it didn’t bother me much because the main subject didn’t bleed off the edge this time. I actually enjoyed putting this one together- all the different visual textures made it interesting- the smooth reflective water, the rocks- some dry, others damp and dark, or wet and shiny, or muted under the surface. I feel the artist really captured what rocks under flowing water, and just breaking the surface, look like. Of course I always like doing puzzles with animal fur too, but it wasn’t intentional that I assembled the bear last. I just happened to start picking up pieces that stood out in the scatter on the puzzle board first, lightest in hue. I moved from one interest to the next, and did a ton of puzzling all in one night, since our neighbors had a loud party that went on for hours and I couldn’t sleep.
This one came with a bunch of “freebies” already attached- and I left them like that, as in the first pic.
Finished size 18 x 11″.
