Something New (No 7)

[smallhobbit]

This month's Something New isn't entirely new, but it's a revisit of something old which I haven't done for several years.

Jigsaws!

SM gave me a little jigsaw for my birthday, which I completed:



But even better stonepicnicking_okapi  sent me a lovely jigsaw for my birthday:



Which I spent an enjoyable weekend starting:



and finishing:



Another thing I would do more of if I had more time :)

You got another one! I like it! And I like the middle picture, too, of the work in progress. I'm so glad you liked it!

I'd really like to do more jigsaws, but there are only so many hours in the day! And thank you so much for the jigsaw - I really enjoyed doing it.

A couple of nice jigsaws there:) My husband and my daughter-in-law both like jigsaws and have been known to spend quite some time together quietly getting on with one.

I really enjoyed doing it - a certain amount of challenge but with no stress, and the immense pleasure of fitting strange looking pieces into an actual picture.

What do you do with them, when completed? I think I really might like doing jigsaws, but what to do with the results?

[smallhobbit]

Sadly I shall have to put them back in their boxes. That way you can do them again.

actually, this sounds like a good idea. reminds me of the Tibetan sand mandalas.
thank you! I'll will think about trying this one day :)

I really like the jigsaw Okapi sent you ^__^ It looks full of interesting details. And having a picture showing the workspace of someone who is deep in the midst of creating seems very appropriate for you ^__^

[smallhobbit]

Yes, it was fun seeing all the details. And as I was doing it I kept thinking how much many of the details tied in.
