My new-to-me jigsaws

The photo shows the three new-to-me jigsaws that I picked up yesterday at the swap meet. The centre one will be interesting. The word on the box says ‘jigsaw’ backwards and the picture that appears when the puzzle is complete will show some of the items and characters that appear on the box but a lot will be totally different, creating a different challenge than what you’d expect. The one on the right looks relatively easy with lots of different colours and objects, which makes me think it won’t be too much of a problem. The one on the left might be a bit trickier but it’s only 500 pieces. I won’t start any today but maybe in a day or two I’ll tackle the one on the right first.

You could well be right! It looks relatively easy though, don't you think?

@Ronrybs I've had some that I gave up on. I decided life was too short to waste too much time on them.

@rakski Watch this space but not for about six months. It might take me that long to do it.

It has a lot of blue, hasn't it? And a lot of mountain. I might put that one off till last.

My daughter likes puzzles. She puts puzzle glue on the back of some and puts them on the wall. So many options. You will be busy a while won't you?

I wish I lived close enough to you to pass on some of my wooden puzzles to you. I’ve had fun with them.

I'm not too sure how I'd go on those. Do you have any photos?

Wohoo for new puzzles. You can do them after getting out of the hospital.

The best part about puzzles like that is getting a 5 year old in there and seeing them try to solve it. That kind of stuff goes a long way.

I think I'll start on the one on the right. It seems to have different sections that should be easy to do.

It will be the hardest as it's not going to look much like the picture.

It won't be a one-night effort, that's for sure.
