Puzzle-path

So for ages now I've been promising myself a really pretty wooden jigsaw—talk about a frivolous indulgence!  I really like the look of Liberty Puzzles, both their choice of images and style of cut.  Just look what they've hidden in the Primavera!

And how they've made Europa out of Europe:

But oh, those Vermeers!

Liberty does cut custom images, and I've long wanted to send them this Jan Brueghel, The Allegory of Sight, which is a great favorite on my iPad.  My game is to do each part of it separately, as far as I can—the view through the window, the orrery, the blue and white vase with the flowers, every painting—and then put all the littler puzzles together into one big one.  But at that size, you can't see how absolutely stuffed it is with pretty things.  It took me a long while to notice that the monkey has spectacles.

And now there's this:


The Days of Creation (65 px)

I could see Liberty cutting out each cosmos individually, five spheres.  Sadly, this group falls into one of their categories, Stolen Art.  The Fourth Day is lost.

(The montage is mine.  Have I made the bars broad enough?)

What do you think?
