I loved this painting of a totem pole and crow by Terry Isaac<\/a> (and look, Terry also includes a page highlighting puzzle adaptations<\/a>!) and it made a lovely 1000-piece puzzle by Cobble Hill<\/a>. The background ended up offering a gradient, more or less, from the top right light-sky quadrant to the bottom left darker grey. But it wasn’t exactly an easy gradient, at least not for me. The crow had some distinctive feathery patterning in the dark colors, and the totem pole was fun. I like the Cobble Hill piece cut, which is sort of grid-modified, with funky pieces, and a variety of piece cuts. Occasional false fits were not too difficult to sort out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wish I had taken a couple of shots of progress, because it was: yellow pieces …. top white-ish sky … small sections of the totem pole here and there … and that was it for a week while I occasionally poked at the puzzle …. then boom, everything came together much faster and it was done. (The dark rectangular area at the bottom left of the image was the last 25 pieces or so.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
