Art from My Heart

"Use what talent you possess;  

the woods would be silent if no birds sang 

except those that sang best."

Pen to Paper

 

Just Do It

 

Above is a portion of this delightful 1000-piece jigsaw that I recently completed. Typically I prefer 100-300 pieces as I can quickly get my brain on board and complete the task in a relatively short time....and I LOVE that.  

However, I willingly took on this "biggie" because I was enamored with the beautiful birds and stems and berries and all the organic fillers.....yes, I love birds and gardens and trees and pinecones and....you get the picture.  

So, clearly I knew this would take a bit to do yet I still thought I could simply focus on one section and then quickly and easily proceed to the next.  LOL  

Given the tiny pieces and similar colors, shapes and textures, it took me much longer than expected but it's BEAUTIFUL.  And I loved seeing each of the birds emerge one tiny piece at a time.  Ahhhhhhhh....definitely something beautiful
