‘Tis Done!

The jigsaw puzzle I bought my wife for Christmas proved quite a challenge but, never one to give up, she’s finally mastered it! You may recognise the image as one of my composites. I should have added something - a texture or pattern - to the plain areas of the background, it involved trying each piece in turn rather than matching any part of a picture. Very laborious and something I wouldn’t personally have the patience for, my name NOT being Job!

" Very laborious and something I wouldn’t personally have the patience for, " Wow, I agree with that statement. This is a task that an AI robot would finish in a moment... Now if the box contained bits from a crumbled 5000 year old scroll then that is worth while... JIXIPIX has a program to make your photos 'look' as tho they were jigsaw puzzles.
"jigsaw puzzle I bought my wife for Christmas proved quite a challenge but, never one to give up, she’s finally mastered it! " Young men could use jigsaws to sort out a good mate who has calm and patience.
It is good to share stories with fellow UHH people... shared stories are a very human interaction. Thank you for a warm story magnetoman

Thanks Don, good to have your thoughts on it. Of course we did have our very own jigsaw maker here on UHH a while back - he became quite prolific once he’d been kicked off!

I agree about not having the patience to assemble this image. But congrats to your wife for getting it done. I think if you added a texture that could be grounds for divorce.

You’re right Frank, it a bit borderline even now!

HA HA - thanks for the trip down memory lane, Dave. Let's hope no one asks who, what or why ...we did have our very own jigsaw maker here on UHH a while back - he became quite prolific once he’d been kicked off!
Excellent tip about the same-toned pieces for anyone wishing to make a puzzle of their own work. Fun that you shared this result. Thanks to the other Linda for playing along!

Once met never forgotten, eh Linda?
I think TOL actually enjoyed the challenge, it’s some form of self-flagellation I reckon!

Quite an amazing thing! Very impressive all around. And now we see your copy camera expertise which is no mean feat when it comes to copying shiny puzzles.

Congratulations to your wife. That is something I would never consider attempting
