We’ve just completed our second jigsaw puzzle of the winter. It’s one that Peggy brought over from TN when she visited us last summer. It’s a Charles Wysocki puzzle called Whaler’s Bay, I think that naive (folksy) American style is lovely.
This is the second Wysocki puzzle that we’ve done, I must admit I found the first one to be more difficult than this one, maybe I’m just getting used to the different styles now. There is quite a difference between US and UK puzzles, going by these ones anyway. We managed to do it over two days and a Brit one normally will take the best part of a week with the same number of pieces – 1,000.
I think I’ll be starting another puzzle soon – going by the weather forecast it looks like we’ll be staying at home over the next few days, it’s going to be freezing here!
Oh yes, that one! I really like the colors in that one.
Peggy,
It is lovely. I really fancy trying the topiary one but that would be very difficult I think as it’ll be 40 shades of green!
I’m curious, what are the differences between US and UK puzzles? Is there a difference in the shape of the pieces?
Jennifer,
The US puzzles have lots of different shapes and sometimes they don’t actually link together as they are zig-zag shaped. Usually UK puzzles have very similar shapes, often just two variations.
What a lovely bright picture! A tonic for these dark wintry days đŸ™‚
Sandra,
Yes it is, although we are nice and bright today – with snow, but not too much.
Pretty! And very New England-y.
Stefanie,
I’m going to bow to your superior knowledge!
