I was not quite sure where to start with this one after I assembled the edges. As you can see in the work-in-progress images below it was the Owl. I actually started with the body, claws and wings areas before the eyes and head formed.
I worked patches of colored areas like the colored flowers and leaves and moon, then stars. The colorful background pieces pretty much fell into place, leaving the green for last as it was all over the image.

The following are some of the close up images displaying the quality cut of the pieces, the creative artistry and the style of the ribbon/grid type cut. One thing I know for sure, this image was addictive in a good way and overall, a perfect puzzle experience!

Anie Maltais of JaCaRou Puzzles contacted me to say she changed manufacturers and she wanted to send me a puzzle from the new production to see the differences. I noted instantly the following;
The pieces are of great quality which is a real factor for jigsaw puzzlers. It makes the puzzling experience so much more delightful when a section can be built in one area of the board and lifted carefully to another section without falling apart. A most important part of the puzzling experience indeed.
That said, along with the 5 improved conditions the new production presented is on the high end for a perfect puzzle experience and I highly recommend it.
Anie Maltais creates and produces her own line of jigsaw puzzles at JaCaRou Puzzles in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. So now around 4 years she has created, produced and sold her puzzles in Canada, USA and some worldwide. She shares her mission statement right on the side of the box...
The above jigsaw puzzle(s) have been added to my Puzzle Hobby Tracker I am in the process of recording all my past jigsaw puzzles that I still have for my walls and all my current puzzles. |
