This cardboard jigsaw is the first new cardboard jigsaw I've made up for quite a while and I'm making heavy weather of it in the poor winter light. The pieces are much smaller than the vintage Waddington/Springbok I've just finished. The surface is matte and feels nice - almost soapy.
I think the lino-cut image is quite difficult in that it reduces to largely coloured lines on a plain colour ground, with a very restricted colour palette and hatchings and angles - things I'm not particularly good at. The effect of massed pieces is quite zebra-like. Initially I sorted for straight edges and just laid the other pieces face up. After doing the frame I pulled out the red and put together what I could. Gathering the browns led to the townscape (with holes where it was blue/white hatching on black). I spent some time rearranging trays and decided to concentrate on the more turquoise shades of blue to see what I could build up. I filled in most of the holes in the townscape, the left corner and below the boat but It took a while to get the black bitds beaks in and link diagonally to the right hand frame. The next breakthrough was getting the swan's beak into the lower left corner and completing the sea and the swan's margin. I now have the black/white swan endgame to face.
The cut is mostly opposite twosies with a lowish percentage of onesies, adjacent twosies & threesies. The fit is quite tight when correct and holding pieces up to the light has helped me avoid false fits where lines seemed coincidentally to continue across piece boundaries.
