Two weeks ago we realised we needed to cancel our holiday. On the Sunday afternoon I decided to do a jigsaw to cheer myself up. A few months back, my lovely BIL Kevin had given me some puzzles which had belonged to his late Mum, Ruth. I chose this Angela Harding 500 piece square one.
It was fun, but challenging.
It took a few evenings, and I was glad I'd used my felt mat so I could roll it up and put it somewhere safe when the family arrived.
Once it was finished Bob said how much he loved the picture, and I did too. It shows two beautiful Irish Hares on Rathlin Island [Details here] We decided to frame it. A couple of coats of Ravensburger Puzzle Conserver, and a spare picture frame and here it is on the wall. Thank you Kevin, I love it!
I gave this jig saw to my daughter for her birthday and she completed it back in the summer and loved it. Angela Harding’s work is always a joy. Sandra.

DeleteI think I must have a card by her. So beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYour parcel is in the post
DeleteA beautiful picture of hares. My sister's house overlooks fields and sightings of hares is common. An artist friend of ours drew a wonderful picture of a hare in pencil and we gave it to her for her 70th birthday. They are quite magical. Regards Sue H
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous gift
DeleteAngela Harding was on Desert Island Discs last week I think it was although I only caught part.
ReplyDeleteLovely jigsaw. I'm struggling with my October one.
I forgot DID. I will see if it is in iPlayer
DeleteBeautifully drawn and framed. It will be a lovely reminder of your time at home and hopefully you will get your holiday when Bob’s back is better. Catriona

DeleteI love hares. When we stayed in a farm cottage in Lincolnshire last month we must have seen 6-7 hares in the fields by us. They were boxing each other, just standing on their back legs and running at a very impressive rate. Xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful
DeleteThat really is worth framing. I love the strong definition. Those hares look like they mean business!
ReplyDeleteThey certainly do
DeleteI wonder if you have read the book ' Raising Hare?'
ReplyDeleteI will check it out. Hope all goes well for you this week 💙
DeleteWhat a lovely puzzle and it makes a really nice picture, too. :)

DeleteThe hares are beautiful. I have bought the Angela Harding long calendar for next year.
ReplyDeleteA new picture for every month - how delightful
DeleteThat is beautiful, I do love her work and all the details in it. That area of water must have been really hard to do!
ReplyDeleteIt was the hardest part
