4th Anniversary Giveaway #2
Always creative, always exploring, design team member Rosie Rowe has done a series of puzzle pieces lately. To create the piece shown at left, she used images from the Little Men and Little Children collage sheets.
For the piece at right, she used images from the Go Ask Alice collage set, which also includes the words she chose.
And to create this third piece, she chose images from the Black and White Microscope Slide sheet.
Leave a little comment love for Rosie, and you’ll be entered in today’s 4th anniversary drawing for a free subscription to The Monthly Muse—and also, in the drawing on the 5th for FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS WORTH OF COLLAGE GOODIES. Remember, comment love, not “enter me in the drawing”!
UPDATE: The winner of today’s drawing for a free six month subscription to The Monthly Muse is…

puzzle pieces….when I get a chance…..Rosie did a great job!!
hugs….
happy anniversary
I have just painted two puzzle pieces, so what more inspiration can i get. They are all so different and all of them look great.
Wow, Rosie, those puzzle pieces are awesome! It’s interesting that all three are left-edge pieces — did you choose those particular pieces for a reason? They’re all great, but my fave is little Alice! Thanks so much for sharing!
Rosie, all of your puzzle pieces are unique and great eye candy. I love the unique shapes of your puzzle pieces. So glad you shared.
These are a very clever way of using old puzzle pieces. I can see these being used for all sorts of other
art projects, from collage to jewelry. I especially like the Alice piece, I have a soft spot for this story and the piece conveys the the scene well. I’ll have to give this a go soon.
I love your puzzle pieces, Rosie, especially the third one. What a great altered piece! I think using large puzzle pieces is such an interesting idea, and I really like that you’ve retained the shape of the piece rather than hiding it.
I saw these on her blog (I think) and I absolutely loved the idea that puzzle pieces can be altered this way. Besides the fun they offer they look like perfect small tokens for couples
Rosie, what an inovative idea!!!!!
These are “pieces” that one can complete in just a few minutes. What a wonderful project for times when one needs to create but not a lot of time. They lend themselves to a series as well. Leave no stray puzzel piece unaltered!!!!!
Wow, what a great work – I love these puzzle pieces. My favorite is the last piece.
Best wishes from Germany

Hi Rose, these as so interesting and very intricate! Do you do these as part of a swap or display them yourself? How would you display these? I kinda like this format. Sally
Rosie, these are fantastic! I am always amazed by puzzle pieces when they are altered and you did a great job on these three! I think the first one is my favorite. Kathy Eddy
what i noticed right away were the color choices for these three pieces, sort of a tarnished gold, ruby, and bronze. they look great together! i love colors that are subtle, and don’t look as if they’re right out of the bottle. they make the images pop even more when those images are black and white. (now, to remember where i stashed my puzzle pieces…)
These are truly beautiful. . . very imaginative and well done!!!
These are so cool! I love the idea of using puzzle pieces as a canvas … I’ve got some from a garage sale, and will have to pull them out and give them a whirl. Thanks for sharing!
I just love the puzzle pieces! I also use puzzle pieces in my art. I am a freecycle freak, and, whenever someone posts games or puzzles I am on it!! Great pieces!!
Love the puzzle pieces. The images you used are really great!

Oh, Rosie, I love your little puzzle pieces…you have got me thinking of some great pieces I have laying in a box just waiting to be altered. Thanks for the inspiration!
Love these Rosie. The third one is my favorite. Very Creative.
Rosie, your puzzle pieces are colorful and unique. Did you cut your own shapes? I’ve only done two puzzle pieces and that was some time ago. I need to try some more!
Great pieces! I especially love the background that you did for the collage work. The foundation is always so important to make everything else look great! I’m crazy about that red!
I’m facinated by how the shape of the puzzle piece influences the arrangement of googies on each piece – these are incredible!
The puzzle pieces are definitely eye candy. I think I have a few leftover “floor” puzzles from my children’s younger days and this would be a perfect use for them. Thanks
great puzzle pieces!!!

You did a great job on these puzzle pieces. I love altering puzzles too. Lots of fun!
I love those puzzle pieces, very nice! I think the 3rd one is my very favorite!
I LOVE the puzzle pieces!! You make art very playfull I really want to try this!
thanks!!!
Rosie, super trio of transformed jigsaw puzzle pieces! Each one so unique!
I must say, I am going to start looking at old puzzles at thrift stores and rummage sales in a whole new light, I have never thought of making small pieces of art from puzzle pieces! Thanks for the inspiraiton.
Happy Birthday…we all get to celebrate, what fun. Rosie, amazing art you’ve created on such novel puzzle pieces. I have puzzles that I’ve been hording for too long, I’m going to go make art after your inspiration. Thanks for sharing with us.
I love altered puzzle pieces and these are just fabulous!
I am about to move….after looking at these images, I’d better not give my old puzzles away,,,,
What a cool idea and I love these puzzle pieces. I’m thinking they would be cool to use on cards. Thanks for a new idea to add to my stash.
Looks to me like many people would like to win from you, Lisa!
Rose, these are just charming! I’d love to see them as pendants, covered in Diamond Glaze, and maybe a rattail or smooth leather necklace.
LOVE LOVE the puzzle pieces. I especially love the first one you have up using the little men. That’s alot of work on a tiny canvas. Great Job!
Rosie, I love your puzzle pieces. I am currently working on some large puzzle pieces for a swap. They are fun and yours turned out really well. It is amazing the effects you can put on an unusual shape with fun themes and a variety of colors and textures.
I have got to get those collage sheets! Rosie, I have never seen anything like this before. I especially love the beads (on wires?) that you added. Alice is one of my favorite books, these are awesome. Must be pretty big puzzle pieces – I’m off to garage sales!
Love these puzzle pieces – I bought some puzzles but not to put together – but to alter! these are so inspiring.
Cool idea! How big are they? One of them has beads on it. Creating art is so much fun, but getting to view these art pieces makes my day. Thanks!
Well, the puzzle pieces are absolutely unique in shape not to mention the great art atop! Love you work Rosie!!! I’m motivated…
How clever! And what unusually-shaped puzzle pieces! I have been saving random puzzle ppieces for art, but none that are this big. Hmmm, I will have to pay more attention next time I’m at the thrift store….
Thanks for sharing!
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh . . . these altered puzzle pieces are ADORABLE, Rosie!!!! They just brought a smile to my face!!!!!
Great puzzle pieces! I need to get mine out again I think!
Hi,
These are very cool and original. I like them! Great idea!
Thanks Rosie! These puzzle pcs are sooo cool! I love all 3 of them. I think they would make great magnets for the fridge. I have my grandkids here this week + next. What a great crafting idea for them.
YOU ROCK!!
Congrats on your 4th anniversary! Rosie, luv what you did to such a common object!! What can i find to alter…. here kitty kitty!! Ha-ha!! Keep up the great job; you inspire me!! Ann
Rosie, how brilliant! I never thought puzzle pieces could really be used to make good art. I was wrong. How inspirational. Thank you.
These puzzle pieces are great. They are very creative and original. Thanks for sharing!
Rosie, all of the puzzle pieces are very clever. The third one is especially appealing to me. I suppose you used very large pieces, but I imagine all size puzzle pieces could be altered.
