Goanywhere Jigsaw Paperweights with Triple Spiral IMG_9909
(Not a painting but I think these paperweights are works of art, so I've included the photo in the Artistic Puzzles group pool.)
This Goanywhere jigsaw, Paperweights with Triple Spiral, has 'more than 100pc' and 'over 25 triple-spiral pieces for a challenging" jigsaw puzzle', graded as difficulty 4 on the maker's scale of 1-5. (I will count the pieces when I put it away.)
I have always loved paperweights and the cut looked intriguing, with its triskelion spirals and shaped-edge dropouts - this easily won a place on my top five Goanywhere designs and into first jigsaw order.
It was very enjoyable and I would love to do a larger jigsaw with this cut. The puzzle was probably about the same level of difficulty as Chaos Firebird - the image being easier.
I completed it (without the box) by starting to build islands of colour, until they could be linked together and the size and organisation of the image became apparent. It would be a harder and a different experience to start with the edges (because although some edges are recognisable they can only be linked by using internal pieces).
I enjoyed these two puzzles a lot - and if the company traded up to larger piece-count jigsaws I would be regularly beating a path to their doors (in spite of the inconvenience of an ocean and a customs regime adding their unwelcome mark-up to the transaction).
