I made a necklace a while ago with pieces of a Peter Maxx puzzle. That particular post is viewed a lot and every time I wear the necklace, people comment on it. Because of that, I decided to do another one. The pieces on this one are a bit smaller so more difficult to work with. It's a good thing that this puzzle had a lot of pieces because a few of them tore. Here is a helpful hint, apply a coat of nail polish to the backs, they become more sturdy and also have a smooth texture. The design was more complex so it took a few hours to complete. This is one of those puzzles that had a lot of small pictures to make the larger picture. I really liked the shades of blue it gives it a turquoise like effect.
There are so many options with the puzzles that if I perfected the technique they would be marketable. But for now it is too time consuming to make very many and my hands got sore after making all of the tiny holes for the jump rings. I am looking forward to showing off my latest handiwork. Please let me know what you think. Feedback and comments are welcome! Here is another repeat, but there is a story. My mother in law was at my home and saw my jar of shells. She had a bunch that my niece had collected and liked this idea to display them so she asked me to arrange them and add a decoration on top. It is always a surprise to me when a simple project like this can inspire others.
