The Health of the Bride

I (Jackie Armstrong) bought this jigsaw in Feb 2014 from Nicki on ebay, before I had commissioned Rob Garner myself. It is a typical example of his style - an interlocking earlet cut, with line cutting after his fashion (accurate but colour boundaries crossed by occasional earlet tabs), and contains Rob's whimsies R, heart, bottle & glass and his dog Rufus. You can see examples of his elbow-shaped pieces and split earlet tabs. The jigsaw was on display at the 2025 BCD house party.
