Development process of a brainteaser ... 2000pcs. completed!!

Just a small question: how come that I decided to assemble this???

Lucky me, I am not alone. A friend and me decided to assemble it simultanously which means: we started the same day - mark the 23rd of January! And several members of the german jigsaw puzzle forum join us.

Here we go:

 

building the frame first:

 

 

 including the letters

 

okay, I'm done

 

 Needed to assort the remaining pieces again:

faces, funny hats, banners with names, tree and "everything else"

 

a few calories are desparately needed :-)

 

At the end of a freezing January the frame was ready to be filled with faces, 

branches and "everything else" 

This will be a tough, challenging thing - 4th of February

 

Last weekend I managed to fill some "gaps"

This weekend (18th/19th Febr.) I completed the names and hats

Not easy, but I managed to complete the lower row of green (26th Feb.)

Update 8th March

assorting according to the shape of things

Close to madness, closer to completion

Tiger in the jungle

Castorland, Poland

 

Development process of a majestic tiger (Clementoni, 1000 pieces)

Several days ago I started assembling this majestic tiger. I really like the Castorland jigsaw puzzles as they have a perfect fit and even huge parts like the jungle are solvable

 

this was the easiest part: the watering tiger
 

from this point I assorted the remaining pieces

 

 

to be continued...

A hopefully good year 2023 - filled with health, peace and good spirit
