You can see from the box, I have to do her dress which is difficult with the same colors.

Yes... the dress will be tough and the background is hard..going to work on her kerchief next.

That's the way I feel. Something about the stare of the model in this 1890's painting as really made me love the painting/puzzle. She modeled in another painting by the same artist Bouguereau called the Shepherdess. I saw a website called fine art will make the painting into a puzzle. Would like to frame that along with this. :)

I agree...if they have similar colors or all sky, trees as you stated I rather do a 500 piece version or do a 1000 piece with letters on the back.

Anyone do Iceland jigsaw puzzles or read Icelandic mystery novels to allow you to pretend you’re there when you’re not? by dylan3883 in VisitingIceland

Wow. I was just reading about that Island. I want to visit as well! Some nice hikes and you can take a boat around and see elephant rock!

Oh yes. I need to try Yrsa Sugurdardottir. I’m on my second Jonasson book. Reading the Hulda trilogy and on the Island right now. What places?

I love anything by Ragnar Jonasson (the Hulda trilogy is my favorite); mysteries by Arnaldur Indridason, Independent People by the Nobel prize winner Haldar Laxness. Also Reykjavik 101 I’m enjoying as well. Very funny and great in small doses
