Jigsaw Puzzles

The question arises - is assembling jigsaw puzzles a hobby or a craft?   We leave aside the question, seriously addressed in Europe recently, as to whether or not assembling jigsaw puzzles is a sport - there's enough pressure in this world without being timed as to how quickly one can assemble a puzzle, thank you!  

We only know that we love doing jigsaw puzzles, and that they've been a great source of entertainment for us.  Herewith, some of our favorite types of jigsaw puzzles (click on the highlighted text for more information on these, all available online):

• Bepuzzled Jigsaw Puzzles
  • Buried Blueprints Jigsaw Puzzles - 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzles, terrific designs.  Unfortunately, discontinued.  The good news (great news, actually) is that the same artist who did Buried Blueprints, Albert Lorenz, is the artist behind MasterPiece's Mythic Mazes puzzles.
