Gold Finch Jigsaw Puzzle Assembly

Since the Gold Finch jigsaw puzzle was only 350 pieces, I simply laid out all the pieces onto the foam boards. It was easy to pick out the most outstanding colours first, being the pinks, whites, brightest yellows and orange. The majority of greenery was left to the end. I have to admit that for 'only' 350 pieces it was a bit of a trickster in some of the 'dense' background colours and flowery/plantation area at the bottom of the image.

You will see in the closeup photos below the very fine details that are not seen on the large image.  The color blends are visible with most beautiful birds, flowers and plantations. Here's a selection of close up images. Now you can really see the tiny Ladybugs, bees and butterflies. The Goldfinches are much more prettier on the table than in the photos.

Gold Finch Jigsaw Puzzle Comments

The artwork is impeccable on the 2 Gold Finch and the fact that the Artist caught finest details of the insects really enhances the image to be so realistic to natures environment.  I sure can appreciate the extra efforts the Artist takes to create such lovely images for us puzzlers. 

Coincidently, the previous owner kindly left these two inserts in the box. They are sharing the 50th Anniversary of Springbok and the Product Warranty.

I have to admit....I have never had an issue or incident with a Springbok jigsaw puzzle of any sort outside of the faded box cover which was a Thrift store purchase (so we do not know where that situation came from).

This was a most delightful and brightly colored jigsaw puzzle and 3 hours of Spring that I thoroughly enjoyed!
