A few years ago, I completed a huge collage project, my ‘Four Elements’, which was one long, large paper collage comprised of Air, Water, Earth and Fire, and filled to the brim with ephemera, photographic images and paper-constructed, 3D elements. Cobble Hill Puzzles then turned this behemoth into four, interconnecting jigsaw puzzles, which fit together vertically. A visiting filmmaker, Alan Agopsowicz, (the husband of my lovely photographer for the project, Jo-Ann Richards) said, ‘Wow, if I don’t make a film showing your process, no one will have any idea just how intensively handmade your work is’.
If you’re at all curious as to how I construct my busy puzzle collages, take a peek…

Thanks so much for the wonderful film, Alan!
Sadly, this is no longer available as a set of jigsaw puzzles, but it is available as two fun fabrics from Northcott Fabric, beautifully printed on 100% cotton (OEKO-Tex certified) and bringing out all the glorious tiny details of this fun collage project (sorry the images are low res screenshots but I’ve included them just for fabric scale. And they’re much prettier in the flesh!)…
