Building and framing a 500-piece art puzzle
Art puzzles are harder than photos - gradients and linework hide edges. A method that works.
Sort by texture, not just color
Group pieces by line direction and texture. Street-style artwork repeats colors, but strokes rarely repeat.
Work surface
The finished puzzle is 520 × 380 mm - a board of 60 × 45 cm lets you build and move it without breaking sections.
Keep it
Once complete, a thin layer of puzzle glue on the face turns it into wall art for a 50 × 40 cm frame.
