courdorygirl Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't been around much, we've had a chaotic week. My mother-in-law got remarried Saturday, so my husband took one of his week's vacations and we spent our free time hanging out with his brother and sister-in-law. 'Twas fun. But, since I have a craft show this saturday to prepare for, back to scrolling! I would say back to work, but I don't really consider scrolling work! I wanted to show y'all a couple of the puzzles I finished yesterday. They do still need to be sanded, I will probably do that this evening after it (hopefully) stops raining. I also need to print off a few more graphics today to cut a few more tomorrow. I also did a couple more kids puzzles yesterday, one for the show and one for a commission, but I have neither painted nor taken pictures of them yet. Another thing to do today! This is shaping up to be another chaotic week! At least it will be all jigsaws puzzles the next few days. First, this one isn't for sale, it's for a friend of mine who is letting me use his artwork. And this one is going to the show. It's designed so it doesn't matter which side is up. My husband put it back together after I got home last night and said it was hard. He actually had to break out the key (the photo on my phone, ha!) for a minute. I think the photos I'm going to choose today are going to all be animals. Let me know what y'all think! Oh, and here is a picture of me and the hubs from this weekend.

wombatie Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Good to see you Angela. Did you cut the puzzles free hand? They look great. Puzzle enthusiasts will love the flowers puzzle, especially if it's a hard one to do. Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

courdorygirl Posted April 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Good to see you Angela. Did you cut the puzzles free hand? They look great. Puzzle enthusiasts will love the flowers puzzle, especially if it's a hard one to do. Marg For The Hunters (the name of the drawing, by the by) I had a 99 piece grid, and the whimsy pieces taped to the top of that, but otherwise freehand. The flowers were done completely freehand. Cut in half, then half again, then half again till I got down to a size I liked. Some of the pieces (like the flower stem) are a bit small but my hubby said it was alright. He's my puzzle put-togetherer, haha. I can cut them all day long but forget putting one back together! (unless I'm doing line by line as I cut...this is how I make the keys. I shoot a photo of it fresh cut and then print a 4X6 photo straight from my phone to include in the box.) I hope they sell fairly well. I'll update y'all how my show goes this Saturday. I've never been a big fan of craft fairs. wombatie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
