Two #JigsawPuzzle updates. I completed this one a few weeks ago. As ever 1,000 pieces. It’s a long ‘letterbox’ style jigsaw, and was quite difficult.
If anyone would like a challenge, DM me an address & I’ll mail it to you. No payment required, but if you want to make a donation to a charity of your choice instead, that’s fine. #Jigsaw

Claude Monet - A 1000 piece jigsaw of a detail from his painting Water Lilys. The colours are subtle - blues, creams, lilacs, pinks, greens. Four pink lily’s are evident, then the soft greens of the leaves as the merge with the water. Overhead is a cloudy sky in blues, lilacs and off whites. There are some tendrils of darker green vegetation hanging down at the right hand side of the painting/jigsaw.
The box for the detail of the water lilys jigsaw of Monet’s painting. Jigsaw is kept in a zip-lock bag in the box.

"Right Hand of the Girl with Carnation," Wilhelm Leibl, 1880.

Leibl (1844-1900) was a German Realist painter of portraits and scenes of peasant life. He was noted for not doing any preliminary drawing, but simply wading in with his paints, which could create problems...of which this canvas is a result.

This is actually a section of a larger painting, "Girl with Carnation," but as Leibl was so intense in painting in as much meticulous detail as possible without preliminary drawing, he ended up throwing off his proportions and he could lose track of the dimensional relationships. The finished work, basically, had too many focal points and fell apart. So, in a act of artistic integrity, he cut up the canvas, with the girl's left hand, head, and a section of the bodice still surviving.

A good example of the whole being less than the sum of its parts, eh? It works well on its own, though.

Happy Flower Friday!

From the Staatliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe, Germany.

A Realist painting. A right hand, holding a red carnation, rests against a blue skirt. This is part of a larger painting that was cut up into smaller ones, with many parts not surviving.

As promised - #3Dprinting enthusiasts and #woodworking people of all ages - here is my handy little blade holder for your #jigsaw (if you own a #DeWalt).

I realized that it's a hassle to find a mounting screw for the thing if you don't have one handy from the cutting fence attachment, so I added a little pop-in split pin that seems to work very well and only looks slightly penis-like (not intentional - form follows function, what can I say).
