I keep a retrospective of my work. This puzzle was made in March 2013.

There has been used a poster with a picture of the French impressionist painter Jean Marc Janiaczyk.

254 items, including 27 figurals;

 size 11.8 * 7.4 "

Hallo Marg!

Ideas are born long and hard. First I look at the picture, afterwards some ideas that relate to this are come to me . From these thoughts creates a plot of the puzzle, sometimes it is almost a story in pictures or a wish. Sometimes ideas come immediately, sometimes not. So, I am pondering puzzle, I'm working on now, with the new year, and in May I started to cut. Sometimes the idea comes at once, then quickly finds subjects for the figures.

 

I use images from various sources:

-I draw  by pencil ,

- Describes the main lines of the photos,

- Google's use of the same (in this puzzle)

 

Here for example, in the 1 and 2 photo I I've used image of my clients cats  in the details of the puzzle, then - the frame of the movie is also turned into a pattern. The last is my own pencil drawing:

Many thanks!   

 

 Do you spray poly or something on the picture before you cut it?

 

This happens in different ways. Pictures from a calendar, I always covered with transparent acrylic matte spray varnish. There's a relatively loose paper, it is necessary to the hardening by varnish. I glued my patterns of figurals by scoth tape or 3M spray adhesive. When I delete patterns then unreinforced top layer of paper could peel off.
Also, there are problems with large sheets, printed on a printer in the print compartment. There are not used to water resistant inks, which can sometimes be blurred by wet hands. There I also use a lacquer. The best thing about my job is photographic paper for digital printing, usually its size is no more than 12 x 16 ". But it is strong to delamination or sweaty fingers. It is easy for me to remove the remnants of spray adhesive or scoth tape from paper surface by using a swab with gasoline-solvent (White Spirit) without damage to the paint.
