The border was not to be completed at the beginning this time due to the same pattern-color backgrounds and puzzle shapes - it will get worked in during progress. Instead, I started with The Zodiac sign as it was the easiest area. |
After The Zodiac sign, ideally I would work each Zodiac sign similar to that of a collage image. That way I could break out the most distinctive image areas according to color and the images themselves. Capricorn, Taurus, Leo and Sagittarius proved to be the trickiest in colors due to the dark areas.
That light tone background with/without text was assembled last.

The matte finish is always nice on these puzzles. As is the cut and quality of Cobble Hill jigsaw puzzles. Being a very 'earthy' type person, I have always enjoyed the signs of the Zodiac since we are all part of the universe. I particularly enjoy being in the Aquarius Stars.
There is one drawback to this image - the fine-small-colored-font text. Most people are intrigued by what their signs says - it is meant to somehow reflect on how we should see ourselves or how others may see us. You will see, even in these close up photos how tricky the fine-small-colored-font text is to read....sadly of course.
The rest of the experience was terrific! There were enough details and color areas to match up the 12 different signs. So if you are not concerned about the 'fine-print' I highly recommend The Zodiac jigsaw puzzle.
