1000 Pieces

A Delicate Balance

by Lori Schory 

SunsOut, shaped jigsaw puzzle with amazingly cutted pieces

 

 

Development process of a SunsOut shaped puzzle (approx. 1000 pieces) - updated 11th April and completed

Our forum in Germany hosts various events, including the Megamarathon. You’re already familiar with that one. For many years now, we’ve also been holding what we call “relay puzzle events.” Originally, a specific theme and time frame were set, and as long as someone was still working on the puzzle, other participants could join in.

 These days, a relay puzzle event lasts 3–6 months. The names of everyone interested in suggesting a theme for an event are placed in a raffle box. These wonderful people are known as “Relay Puzzle Sponsors” (according to a godparent). As soon as one event ends, the next sponsor is selected by lottery.

 There is currently an event named 

“Our Oceans” 
This collage of wildlife from the Arctic and Antarctic is now on my desk:
