Alchemy


When there are other pressing matters to attend to, I recommend avoiding them by hauling out a jigsaw puzzle and attending to that instead. To coordinate with the Halloween theme around the house, I thought this one entitled The Alchemist would be appropriate.

The going is slow at first....

Eventually recognizable objects take form....

Next thing you know it's a couple days later....

Wait, when was the last time I showered and put on clean clothes....

If there was any doubt in the beginning as to whether all those pieces would form the picture on the container, behold, The Alchemist. Lots of meditative time. Sometimes you need that. I feel ever so much wiser. I wonder how the cats would get along with a tiny pet dragon? Next up, perhaps basket weaving.

And you mustn't forget underwater origami!

I think I may need to get myself a puzzle sometime this winter; Sounds like good, cheap therapy!

I have lots of puzzles! Allow me to loan you one or two. Cats enjoy jigsaw puzzles, too.
