Development process - 2000 pcs. ** "The royal family"

Many years ago (before 2012) I collected pictures of jigsaw puzzles I didn't own by then. Just to be sure not to miss them in my collection. Then, some day, I realized that I wouldn't be able to own them all (far too rare or too expensive) and I ordered a 2000-pieces-jigsaw puzzle by fotopuzzle.de

 Almost 2 weeks ago I started assembling it

just 117 pieces left ... and they are all violet!

... and we're done :-)

Finished 4th August 2018
