Water Jigsaw Puzzle Assembly.....

Not much sense in sorting the Water jigsaw puzzle except to get the edge pieces out. I did lay all the pieces out onto two foam boards.

So 'the plan of attack' for these 4 Element puzzles will be the big letters first then look for the largest sections of colors/patterns/objects. Then just continuously pick away at items by placing them into their 'estimated' areas, one by one which eventually match up.

As you can see in the image below there are a lot of sporadic unfilled areas due to the extreme amount of details and items. We often refer to these images as busy and busy indeed it is.

 Water Jigsaw Puzzle Comments

The most interesting thing about these puzzles I find, is the Creator, Shelley Davies, collected ALL these little objects. There must be boxes of them collected over the years as I can see some object to be old and/or vintage.  Who knew that by saving ALL these objects, then using the idea of the Earth, Fire, Air and Water, it could be turned into such a wonderful jigsaw puzzle Series. I have seen this Series assembled many times and they sure are an attractive Winner!!! 

I chose the Elements Series of 4 puzzles titled Water, Air, Fire and Earth as part of my selection of annual reviews for Cobble Hill Puzzle Company. The Element Series is created by Shelley Davies. They are a new Series for 2019 and you can check the following link to locate the Preferred Retailers and the Online Stores for purchasing. CLICK HERE

I will be submitting all 4 completed puzzles to the 2019 World Puzzle Days which Cobble Hills Puzzle Company is one of the Sponsors as well.
