Puzzle: Mister Swallowbark

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Poor Mister Swallowbark, Broommaker [1000 pieces, Buffalo Games, artist: Charles Wysocki], I lost one of your pieces, and despite much searching, can't find it. It was an easy but enjoyable puzzle--until the last piece, of course.

That's another lovely puzzle!

Thank you! I hope (like the one before) that I happen across the missing piece. I cleaned where I found the missing piece from the past puzzle, but it wasn't there. I even stripped the bed and shook the duvet. And I didn't roam at all with this one, so I don't know where it is. Maybe when I do my April clean of the rest of the flat, I'll find it.

I don't like all of Wysocki's art, but I really like this one. Charming!

Thank you!

Oh man. I hate the single missing piece!

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

I do try hard not to lose them. Last time I found the missing piece after about 4 weeks, so maybe all isn't lost!

Hope springs eternal!

Gosh, getting to the end of a puzzle and then finding there's a piece missing is so frustrating!

Although in your photo, I cannot even see where the missing piece is no matter how much I search :D so it doesn't spoil the overall effect at least.

I did the same thing and couldn't find the missing piece! :)

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Aw. That sucks!

[lunabee34]

No, I mean, I can't see where the missing piece is in the picture of the puzzle you did. :)

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Yes, yes it is and it happens to me a lot more than it should. I mean I live in a 2 bedroom flat so there isn't a whole lot of places for the pieces to go!

Well, that's good. It hurts my pride to put up a photo of an incomplete puzzle but I think the pictures are interesting.

A beautiful piece of art! Sorry about the missing jigsaw piece - that is frustrating. I don't notice it in the final picture however :D x!

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Thanks! I'm glad you like it even with the gap!

Oh no, that missing piece—how frustrating!

It's a lovely picture, though—there's so much going on. I like the apples spilling out of the barrel, and that fox peering from the bushes on the left.

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Yes, yes, it is frustrating, and it happens far too often.

I love the fox! You are right, this one has a lot of nice figures in it, and just the idea of a broommaker is kind of nice, too.

Alas, poor lost piece:-(

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

I found the lost piece from the last puzzle about 4 weeks after I finished it, so there's a sliver of hope but I cleaned my room (how I found the last one) and didn't find it. So maybe when I do the April flat clean.
