A mosaic elephant made from jigsaw pieces!

Wow! This certainly takes some beating. A mosaic artist, Natalie Guy, from Bristol, has made a  4ft elephant sculpture,  pieced together from 308 used jigsaws which were donated by the public.
How fantastic - and the elephant is to be auctioned to raise money for children's charities.
You can read more about it  here.

Art from puzzle pieces

We never cease to be amazed by the uses people put jigsaws to!
Ron Davis from the Queens borough of New York,  re-purposes finished puzzles by combining pieces from several of them to create unique vibrant works of abstract art.                    

Ron Davis and the work titled Antarctica
He hopes to exhibit his work in galleries after he
completes 21, a great feat especially considering that since he first began the project in 2009, he has suffered a heart attack and stroke.

The work below is titled  “My Love Piece,” and features the words “Love” and “Peace,” a homage to his hippie days.  What a fantastically talented man!  Read more about him here
