I like chickens Eddie!! GRAVY!!!!

If anyone gets the reference in my post title, You get a cookie =)

Now I mentioned in my last post that I was working on a puzzle for my moms birthday =) and I was going to actually glue (GASP!!) it... well, that's not happening... My mom decided that it was much too large to glue, and to put it away, and then I could just assemble it at a later date for her =)

So I took a TON of pictures of it, and she'll have those to put on her fridge and so on...

The puzzle in question is a 1,000 piece F. X. Schmidt affair, it's a shaped puzzle of one of my moms favorite animals, a Rooster =D

it took me approximately 3 days to assemble, I would have finished it sooner, but things happen xD

anyways, PICS!!

So I started with the edge pieces... The unfortunate thing about this brands edge pieces, are that they're not always connected to each other... They sometimes have a straight line edge connecting them and require a 3rd inside piece to actually keep them together... I honestly did not like that. I then did the red of the comb and waddle

I then worked on the blues of the sky, and tail feathers

Then the yellow of the foot and the pathways leading to the barn

The yellow of the field

All of the yellow in one picture

I then started the green on the neck

and the tail

Finally the green on the tail, almost completing the tail

I then started on the green grassy areas between the antiques... I Started this by finding all of the pieces that linked the edges, so My edges were now basically finished

Filled out some more of the green

more grass

and the last of the grassy areas (for the most part)

Next I started on the quilts, the doorway, and the 2 blue chest of drawers

I then pilled out the antiques barn

 and voila! It is finished

Close up of the antiques sale.

Overall a very enjoyable puzzle, I didn't like how the edge pieces were the way they were, but the pieces were of good quality... The only issue I have is how incredibly loose the pieces are... I mean, It will literally fall to pieces if I even attempt to THINK of lifting it...

Now onto the 3rd puzzle in the set of three 750 piece glitter puzzles, what's it look like, well I guess you'll know in a few days.
