Goanywhere Triple Spiral Jigsaw Cut IMG_9911
BCD Mtg - This fascinating cut has a large number of triskele shaped pieces.
A detail of the cut showing the marbrie glass paperweight.
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 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 don't have very good spatial senses and spent quite a bit of time rotating the triple spirals until they fitted - my lucky other-half can do this sort of thing in his head. The little lugs joining pieces made the jigsaw easier and more interlocking.
I enjoyed these two puzzles a lot but really wish that they made larger and more difficult puzzles too. Look out for the level 5 puzzle Celtic Knot.
