I did sort out the edge pieces first, but soon realized there are too few that show details from the image itself and too little difference between the shades of pale tan. It seemed unnecessarily complicated to insist on completing it first.
Instead I launched straight into starting with items I could identify the pieces of. That was easier said than done too, as there's a lot of red and loads of green. Because I don't sort pieces, but dig through the box, it made getting going with this 2000 piece puzzle a lot slower. However I loved the look of the pieces! They look like little gems! So digging through them and looking closely at each one was rather a pleasure!
Of course I started with things I particularly like. Like snowmen, crabs and Christmas goodies, followed closely by flowers....and that covers almost everything in this image!
Coming along nicely now...
And all done! Absolutely love this image!
And some close-ups - This bowl of lovely Christmassy goodies
The beautiful colours of this crab, that to me yells 'summer'!
And of course the snowman. This one has birds too. Doubling the cute factor for me!
I enjoyed this puzzle from start to finish. As always the Cobble Hill quality is outstanding. The linen finish of the pieces feel so luxurious. The colours are deep, saturated, rich.
The box is beautiful and sturdy and they stack in a way that you can always easily spot a particular puzzle regardless of how the boxes are stacked. Each puzzle is identified by a clear image, full or partial, on the each side of the box.
I already look forward to doing this one again. It was such a pleasure and the final result so beautiful!
Thank you Cobble Hill for another first class puzzling experience!
