One of the Kaleidoscope Coloring Jigsaw series. I don’t know why it’s called Through the Fields, as the horse is prancing through giant flowers. But this was fun! It’s a black-and-white puzzle with very matte surface, you color it when done. The pieces were kinda boring- all very squarish (reminiscent of the Panda) but the high variety of visual texture in the patterns made it a challenge. The mane and tail in particular were tricky, especially since some of that pattern matched the front legs (why). When I started this I had my doubts about coloring it- I imagine that to be more tedious than relaxing. But I pulled out our collection of mixed color pencils, and decided to challenge myself to use every single one.
I’m halfway through that, now! Updates later. Assembly:
