(Alfred Mucha) Mini Jigsaw Puzzle (阿爾豐斯·慕夏)迷你拼图

I did a semester on art history in college, it was SO much fun! And Art Nouveau* is one of my favorite styles of decorative art and architecture. However, being an artistically polygamous person, of course i love many other art styles too (such as Color Field that i'm quite obsessed with.)
大学的时候，我读了一个学期的艺术史，实在是太有趣了！新艺术运动*是我个人最喜爱的装饰和建筑艺术形式之一。当然啦，我对艺术是比较多情（花心）的，所以也十分热爱很多其他不同的艺术风格。譬如色域绘画就让我非常着迷。

( * "Nouveau" is a French word that means "new". Another famous art movement with the word "new" in French is La Nouvelle Vague (The New Wave,) which is an experimental French film-making style pinoneered in the 1950s -1960s, one of the most well-known films of this period is Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless. )
（* "Nouveau"是法语“新”的意思。另一个有名的艺术运动，也有“新”字的，是"法國新浪潮"。这是在1950-1960年代，法语电影的一种实验性创新形式，代表作品有尚盧·高達的《斷了氣》等。）

Now back to the point, what I would like to share with you today, is a mini jigsaw puzzle of Art Nouveau artist Alfred Mucha's Primrose and Feather (1899) that i had assembled. The original painting looks like this:
回到主题，其实今天我想和大家分享的，是我完成的一幅迷你拼图。拼图的原作是捷克籍新艺术运动画家阿爾豐斯·慕夏的《月見草和羽毛》 (1899年)。原画是这样的：

As you can see, it is very romantic for its use of muted colors and graceful, moving lines. This is an epitome of the Art Nouveau style which is often inspired by natural forms and structures, especially the curved lines of plants and flowers.

这是一幅非常浪漫的作品。哑色的运用加上高雅流畅的线条，代表了新艺术运动最重要的特性- 就是充满有活力、波浪形和流动的线条，创作者们常常以自然界的花草作为灵感。如果你有兴趣看到慕夏的其他作品，请浏览这个 Pinterest 网站 ，因为这也是上图的来源。

The fun begins! It's a 500 piece jigsaw puzzle produced by a Japanese company, Yanoman. 好玩的游戏要开始了！这是一副500块的迷你拼图，由日本Yanoman公司制作发行。

Just to show you how tiny the pieces are, here is one of them on my finger tip, and i have very small hands. 为了让你看到这拼图块到底有多迷你，我把它放在了我的手指上，而且我的手本身就很小。:D

Start with the border, smart move! 聪明的方法，就是从边界做起！

For those with "fat fingers", they do provide a pair of tweezers to help assemble this puzzle. :D 对于手指比较粗的朋友，别急！他们也提供了一副小镊子来帮住我们完成这项拼图。

Almost there! 就快好了！

You can see the light at the end of the tunnel now... 已经能看到黎明的曙光！

And voila! How satisfying! 大功告成！好有成就感啊！

It took me about 3 hours to finish this puzzle, the assembling process is very additive. If you are a jigsaw puzzle lover, please share with us your works and remember to tag me so i could see them too! Our fellow Steemian @gyanibilli is working on a 1000-piece School of Athens now, I look forward to seeing his progress and the final artwork. <3
