Anyone fancy a new jigsaw thread?

Hello all.

I really enjoyed the last jigsaw thread which was going on during the summer and wondered if anyone fancied sharing any pictures of jigsaws that are currently being done?
I'm nearly finished with my Disney Christmas one. A nice easy one which has only taken me a couple of days.
The weather is grim today so I expect it will be finished very soon! I will post a full picture once it is complete.
Would love to see your jigsaws....

About 6 weeks, I built mine on a huge (office) whiteboard on a double bed. The middle section was hard on my back, and I did the sky/tree with the jigsaw image upside down so I could reach to place pieces.
I have another 3000-piece, but I'm having a little break before I embark on it.
I got a couple of smaller jigsaws to keep me going in the meantime.

Thanks InMySpareTime. That sounds like quite a challenge.

I enjoyed this eeboo one. I've noticed though that the 1000 square jigsaw won't fit on my jigsaw board which is a bit annoying.

These are my latest two cafe jigsaws. I do have other Wentworths but they're a bit too "springtime" for January hence the periodic table one for a change.
My jigsaws are often too big for puzzle boards, I've been known to use yoga mats/bedding rolls or whiteboards for jigsaw surfaces.

We are doing a 1000-piece version of the HP Marauders Map. It is VILE. 50 shades of beige and the picture of the completed thing is tiny. I have had to buy a magnifying glass as even DH is struggling and he has perfect vision!! I am so close to binning it right now.

This was a tricky 1000 piece, took me a week and a half.
So. Many. Olafs!

I did this one yesterday whilst being bored in isolation. I paid £5 for it from Amazon and didn’t expect much but it’s really lovely quality, although it doesn’t look it from this photo. I had to reduce the file size to post it and it’s lost clarity.

Anyone seen the jigsaw tables. I really wanted to buy one but they're so expensive. I need something to do my 1500 pieces on. I have a case but it only holds 1000 pieces I do use card sometimes but I want something better any ideas please

Loved doing this one, it has lots of gold foil highlights and I am a total magpie who just loves shiny things 😂

I just started this one from Smith's. Can’t cope with more than 500 pieces. I’ve only done the edges so far.

Yesterday's cafe jigsaw, donated by the café owner. Unfortunately it turned out to have a missing piece so I discreetly took it home to recycle it. Shame, as it was otherwise a good jigsaw

I love the round animal ones. We done them as a family when I was a child.

hennaoj · 22/02/2022 17:37

Done a few more!

I’ve completed this one today after starting it last night. It was a lot easier than I thought it’d be although it wasn’t easy to photograph being panoramic.
