So I played "I spy" and saw an animal with a white swirl on its head and thought it funny that it was the only one with a hook on top. Liked the pigs best of all!
That used to happen to me when I did the C4J cut so I switched to hex to force myself to deal only with the puzzle picture.

Yup. I focused on the shapes too.

The puzzle shapes for part of the puzzle spell Crazy for Jigsaws.

I couldn't have done this puzzle without the shapes, though, and since I use puzzles as brain training I'm glad I could finish it somehow.

IdI do, too, Orinoco, but for my plein air painting. If you do any complicated landscapes you have to have a good memory for where each abstract shape goes and relates to other abstract shapes. Although I might be painting a rocky stream, each rock has an abstract shape and coloring of its own and must be placed correctly. I sometimes "get lost" in the shapes so doing puzzles that force one to rememberthe shapes in the photo not the shapes of the pieces is a help.
