It’s a bit like origami.

The title is "Townscape" by Viktor Gavriloski

Trefl double-sided jigsaw puzzle

... just turned the macarons to see if I made any mistakes... obviously I didn't

By the way: I assembled this one not by the shape of the pieces, but by the colours. Started with violet, then turned to green, sand, blue, yellow and finally red :-D

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

Did you ever feel the need to rescue a jigsaw puzzle even though it is not your main theme?

I assembled the amazing shaped wooden jigsaw puzzle (Turtle) a few weeks ago - bought at ALDI and given to me as a gift. After a while I strolled through our ALDI store and saw another wooden jigsaw puzzle with Disney princesses. 2 packs. Price reduced by 50%. Still unsure.

Last week it was still there, still reduced, but only 1 left. Maybe it was a sign, maybe not, who knows. Now it's mine and I had fun assembling those 181 ornated pieces
