I just love when you find that puzzle you’ve admired for a long time second hand. Something about ticking that little wish off your list just feels so good. I’ve seen this 500 piece Pomegranate puzzle on other Instagram profiles quite a bit over the past couple of years.
I’ve always loved the colours and the slightly washed out, sort of rougher style of this. In reading a bit more about the artist – Gustave Baumann – he did a lot of woodcut prints. Which is always a medium that I’m very drawn to.
He used oil based inks and a press, which was different from the traditional Japanese style of woodblock printing which was popular at the time he was making prints. I love the vibrant colours of this and other prints of his, that I looked up.
For a 500 piecer, this was a nice challenge. Those yellow blossoms, were a tricky batch, for sure. But I always love that, I’d prefer a challenging puzzle most times to a very quick and easy larger piece count puzzle.
This little puzzle is 500 pieces and complete, it was found at Value Village in Halifax and I was so happy to have a found a puzzle I’d been wishing for once again!

you’re a lucky penny to find this rare one puzzle second hand.
this pomegranate is fantastic. I like that they printed it with that pale yellow frame so it looks like a self-sufficient work of art

I was very happy indeed! I couldn’t agree with you more about the framing, they really pay attention to composition and I love it 🙂
