Did you know that challenging puzzles activate new parts of your brain? They are great for improving memory and problem solving skills. They are also good for team building and teamwork making them great family activities. Perhaps that is why so many of us like a jigsaw puzzle challenge and are delighted to receive them as gifts. Here are a couple that will that certainly tax your brain!
Pear Blossom Impressions
Pear Blossom Impressions is a photo-art image of pear blossom, created in Impressionist style. The 1,000 piece version should keep you busy for months! Even putting the edge together will take some time. A couple of tree branches provide the anchors around which to construct the puzzle. Well, you have to start somewhere, right? A soothing mixture of greens and yellow, the individual pieces are hard to identify separately. So I think this counts as a jigsaw puzzle challenge, don’t you?
Italian Spring Blossom
Another photo-art image in Impressionist style, Italian Spring Blossom; this time the puzzle is predominantly shades of blue and green. Repetitive shapes and similar color all add to the complexity of the puzzle. As with the puzzle above, the branches provide the anchor points from which to build the image. And again, the limited color range just adds to the level of difficulty.
Jigsaw Puzzle Challenge to Wall Art
The joy of both of these puzzles is that when completed you can frame them and hang them on the wall!
About the Puzzles
The puzzles, by Dorothy Berry-Lound, are available from Pictorem with free shipping in the USA and Canada.
Unlike traditional printing, this artwork is produced by sublimation print. Pictorem utilizes heat and pressure to transfer images directly into the surface of the puzzle, bonding the image to the substrate at the molecular level. All of this is protected by a high-gloss varnish.
The puzzles are available in four sizes, 120, 315, 500 and 1,000 pieces.
