Today we discovered that my drawing board is too small for the puzzle!
So on Wednesday our group will have to transplant the completed fragments onto another board or an isolated table.
It was my fault that we used that board, I assumed it was large enough for the puzzle, but that's what you get for assuming I suppose.
We nearly have the boarder of the puzzle completed, some of the larger objects are also taking shape. Chennel has a coral object made, and I completed a planet today.
We have yet to adopt a more sophisticated approach, as I hoped we would. We are still digging through the box looking for pieces. I suppose this suggests that habits of convenience are the hardest to break.
All of our members feel as though we are lagging, especially when we compare to our neighbours. Amanda is apparently a puzzle whiz! They are more than half done, whereas we have only a few recognizable objects. It is important not to get discouraged, but I don't think puzzle making was meant to be a competitive activity anyhow.
At the next opportunity I will suggest to the group that we find a new strategy, and hopefully our progress will improve.
