Development process of a custom made "MGA Miniverse"-Collection jigsaw puzzle

Last year, I saw a collection of MGA Miniverse creative sets being made for the first time and was allowed to take photos of the finished little masterpieces. Thank you very much Sina!

The aim was to combine the individual objects into a collage and to transfer this collage into a 1000-pieces-jigsaw puzzle:

Unboxing on Valentine's day:

and of course we started to assemble "our" jigsaw puzzle:

After a second session we managed to assemble all those tiny jewels

In a final session we will complete the black and dark-grey gaps :-)

Ahrensburg Castle

Era: renaissance

Ahrensburg Castle is located in the town of Ahrensburg, named after the castle district, in southern Schleswig-Holstein, about 30 kilometres northeast of Hamburg city centre. The small moated castle is actually a manor house and, as such, was once the centre of a noble estate.

I visited the castle in 2012 and transferred a photography into a jigsaw puzzle. Now I have awakened it from its slumber

Our dog had fun rubbing herself on the lawn in front of the castle.

Life of Yoshi - by Linn Schiffmann

In January I visited Art in Pieces to participate in some competitions. My friend gave me the "Live of Yoshi", a 500pcs.-jigsaw puzzle for a test under relaxed conditions at home, not under competitive conditions – but with a stopwatch!

Ready - steady - go!

1:08 hours = this is where my friend and puzzle partner in the couples competition finshed her "Yoshi". I still have a few pieces left ... just a few

Development process of a Van Gogh Collage, Grafika, 1000 pcs.

It is my pleasure to be able to show 15 masterpieces by Vincent Van Gogh on one jigsaw puzzle. The puzzle is on loan, a travelling puzzle. For many years now, our forum has offered the opportunity to send puzzles on a journey. Sometimes it is a single jigsaw puzzle, sometimes it is a package with several puzzles (there have even been packages with many finger exercises for the mega marathons).

With travelling puzzles, the person who sends them on their journey decides whether, for example, the last piece should be signed with the date and nickname.

There have been travelling puzzles that have lasted more than a decade (and are still going) – and travelling puzzles that are over after just a few stops.

This package consists of three jigsaw puzzles, a collage
