Just finished this jigsaw puzzle. It is from Ravensburger, "Doors of the World", 1000 pieces. It took me about 4 days.
This is the second one I've done in the last 2 weeks. The first one was "Mucho Cars", a 500 piece puzzle.
I picked up this one at a bookstore on impulse. A friend had posted a finished jigsaw puzzle on Facebook, and I really liked it. I found a bunch of puzzles for sale less expensively on Craigslist, and bought a dozen. Doors was one of those. One or two of those puzzles may be missing a piece or two, but I'm willing to take my chances.
Upon investigating further, I found that jigsaws are available in many of the genre that I especially like in cross stitch and other designs. I actually have a 3000 piece "Olde World Map" puzzle (another Ravensburger, I believe) that I picked up about 2 years ago, because I like the print. I have since picked up another that I really like - Forum Romanum, 2000 pieces. Those two, and quite possibly several others, I would like to make up and frame. I enjoy the challenge of assembly, and my eyes are just no longer good enough to do extensive cross-stitch without lighted magnification (and that's just tiring). I think the jigsaw puzzles are a good substitute - at least until my next knitting, spinning or quilting obsession. It seems each has their turn.
