May 6 : Broken

May 6  #broken #fmsphotoaday  : did a mosaic puzzle #750pcs over the weekend. Thought it'd be an apt thing to post the completed puzzle as a "mosaic" (sorta) as well


I was working on a jigsaw puzzle over the weekend. It's a picture of a frog in mosaic. And since the theme is Broken, I thought it apt to present my picture in a mosaic form as well. This puzzle was pretty tough, I must have gone cross-eyed several times, but I do love the challenge! This is the third in a row that I've completed. Now I should get back to reading!!

the 500-piece puzzle Queen!

Finished this last night with my MIL. Brings back childhood memories of puzzles of the past. My very first completed 500-piece puzzle was a birthday gift. It was a picture of Disney's Snow White and the 7 dwarves and I was proud of it because i finished it all by myself. My mother and i glued it to a cardboard base and then she sent it for framing. I wonder if she still has it...

My biggest regret was not buying this 1000 piece puzzle which was a scene of the African savannah, with the savannah animals all lined up in a row. The elephants took centre stage, flanked by giraffes and lions and zebras and antelopes, and more small animals at the ends. The whole puzzle was in sepia and i loved how beautiful it looked. I remember telling myself that I wouldn't be able to finish it so I never bought it. All i remember was, every time i walked past the store, i would gaze longingly at the completed puzzle on display, and wished it was hanging in my room instead. I can't find that puzzle now. :(


Now i'm on the hunt for another puzzle to start!!
