As it happened (from my Journal archives)

Wednesday 3:35 pm - I started cutting this month's eBay puzzle, didn't spend a lot of time, completed about 60 of the projected 325 pieces. Will resume on Friday.

Friday 3:20 pm - Got up early and focused on Puzzle #693, Enchanted Jungle - The Lion, a K. Chin puzzle, completing it a short while ago. This puzzle is this month's eBay puzzle, and contains around 325 Long Round pieces with four figurals: Dragon Fly, Cicada, Mouse and Dachshund. I have decided to delay the auction until late Sunday afternoon. I'll have pictures of this puzzle and others at the time of the auction.

Monday 7:52 pm - Auction launched.

From the auction description:

This puzzle features a print by the late K. Chin, an artist I frequently feature in the Project. The name "The Lion" is my name, the print did not have a name. The print was one of four mass produced K. Chin prints in The Enchanted Jungle series published by Donald Art Co. in 1973. This auction completes this series, the first one, Zebra, was sold outside the 100 Puzzles Project, Koala Bear was #52 in the Project, and Tiger was #55.

This puzzle is cut in my Long Round style and includes my standard signature piece (signed, dated and numbered on the back) and a second piece (the Dachshund figural) marked on the back indicating the puzzle belongs to the 100 Puzzles Project. There is just a little of of color line cutting in the puzzle: the butterfly is cut as a "treat pieces" and there is little bit in one of the flowers.
