I have had a further go at a jigsaw, this time concentrating on colour line cutting. Three of the internal flowers have been fully colour line cut while the rest of the jigsaw remains interlocking. The line cut flowers are also fully interlocking internally. For an added challenge the border is irregular - I have not tried to put it together from scratch yet so not sure how difficult it will be. Its approx 12" by 9" and is 120 pieces.
The art of colour line cutting, to me at least, seems to depend entirely on the image selected - get the image right and it is logical to then colour line cut internally for that extra challenge :twisted:
As you can see from the back I now need to work on my puzzle piece style a little. This was cut entirely freehand but pieces still lack that distinctive style and uniformity in pattern that they should have. Currently its a whatever felt right at the time style with no effort made to get a uniform style or size. I was using this puzzle primarily to have a go at colour line cutting. Looking at the web and other cutters styles even though they are all different they are all uniform in their piece shape and style. I feel this is my best attempt yet, but still a ways to go before even approaching anything someone would pay for :wink:
