I Puzzled The Puzzler!

Last fall my fulfillment company for KeppenArt on Fine Art America/Pixels started offering jigsaw puzzles for purchase. I immediately designed two images specifically for puzzles that were added to my Going To The Dogs Collection. I offer products from that collection in order to raise money for a local non-profit that provides medical care for shelter animals.

One of the designs was made for a friend that I thought might want a puzzle with her former fur babies as the puzzle image. I was right. She purchased a puzzle with that design.

The other design was a collage of various foster dogs, friends’ dogs and my former and present dogs. I know that it is the perfect design for a challenging jigsaw puzzle for dog lovers.

Shortly after those puzzles were available I decided to order one as a Christmas gift for a family member who puts together quite a few jigsaw puzzles. This person loves rocks and I had an image of a stone wall that I thought would make a great puzzle. Sailing On A Sea Of Stones was the image that I chose.

She loved the image and agreed it would make for a challenging endeavor. After getting the outside pieces of the puzzle put together, however, she told me that there’s no way that she could go by color, by shape or by a combination of those two options as she usually did when putting together jigsaw puzzles. She started that puzzle two weeks ago and at the time of this post she is still working on trying to finish it.

Little did either of us realize that the 1000 piece puzzle would “puzzle the puzzler”!
