Making myself into a puzzle....

[fajrdrako]

I was playing around at Jigzone and discovered that we can upload on our own pictures.

Oooh, said I, and promptly put in a picture of me at the Ring of Brodgar, here.

What fun. I think I'm going to enjoy playing with this. (A puzzle version of Captain Jack Sparrow. A puzzle version of Aragorn son of Arathorn. I've already done Clex puzzles, of course, including the wonderful ones that goss has on her site.)

I've loved jigsaw puzzles since I was a kid, and used to work on them with my father in his study in the evenings: 200-piece puzzles of dogs and kittens and castles and kids, while my father smoked his pipe and we talked about things. He and I got along very well in those days.

The joy of jigsaw puzzles has never left me, though I don't often do them these days. When I do them, I find them conducive to creative thought.

But time-consuming.
