Collage over Bavarian building jigsaw puzzle

Growing up I always loved these overbearingly cheerful Bavarian buildings. Now my more cynical self expects hidden dark secrets under the surface. In this puzzle collage almost everyone is smiling; lips and eyes are amongst the firewood and flowers.

I used to travel quite a bit for my moneymaking job. The perfect use of time waiting in airports was cutting out images. It takes a lot of time to do a precise job on small pictures, and time is what you have in those situations. Unfortunately, this use of time is long gone. They won’t allow anyone to take scissors onto airplanes anymore. Except for the presentation on this web site, there are no digital images in these collages. All pictures are found in popular culture print materials (magazines, brochures, programs, etc) and cut out with scissors.

The puzzle collages are framed with glass and clips. If I were wealthy, I would love to pick out just the right mat and frame for each one.
