GoAnywhere 180pc Bears Jigsaw collage1
Laser-cut plywood jigsaw, Go-Anywhere 180pc Morning in the Pine Forest by Ivan Shishkin, a puzzle-in-puzzle jigsaw, c2013. A small jigsaw, 21.5 x 14.7cm, with four whimsies (I missed the maple leaf) and a dropout feature in the centre of the top margin. You can see the assembled secondary puzzle and its template.
The puzzle-in-puzzle concept: after finishing the puzzle select 18 pieces to make up the outline of the bear on the paper template. One piece is marked as a starter.
Last time I did one of these I assembled the puzzle, flipped it over and removed pieces (mirror-imaged) to complete the template. This time I decided to make up the template first then assemble the main puzzle leaving holes for those pieces used for the secondary puzzle. This discipline, and the bear drop-out detail on the top edge, made the main puzzle more difficult.
I have only one of my six Go-Anywhere puzzles left now, and I think the firm is no longer trading. (This jigsaw was done next.)
