It was time to find a "reason" to lower my stock of unsolved jigsaw puzzles :-)
I've reduced my stockpiles before by using themes like the ABC or by travelling around the world, space and time.
This time I ask my friends of the german jigsaw board to choose 1 of 3 jigsaw puzzles that are in my stock for 5 years and more. They have 700-6000 pcs. and it will be a challenge for me to pick the one my friends chose.
Anyway, this one is the first in a row of many to follow
The Battle of Alexander the Great at Issus (333 BC)
Albrecht Altdorfer, 1529
Piatnik (Austria), 2000 pieces
I startet assorting the pieces and my first attempt was to assemble the sky
on the 26th of march
this will be a tough thing
after 5 days:
During Easter (roman-catholic at the beginning of April) I paused for a marathon and assembled various othe jigsaw puzzles and I returned to the battlefield on the 7th of April
Still busy on the 17th April, early morning
and this is how it looks like today
still a long way to go .....
just 234 pieces left ...
