Introducing 'Coastal Christmas' – my second Christmas jigsaw puzzle for Ravensburger
Following the success of last year's London's Christmas Spirit jigsaw puzzle, I was delighted to be asked by Ravensburger to illustrate another one.
For the new jigsaw, entitled Coastal Christmas, the theme was a festive harbour, which was a real joy to work on, particularly as I live in Cornwall and have always loved the character and atmosphere of our coastal towns.
I wanted to capture that lovely feeling of a Cornish harbour at Christmas, with colourful boats bobbing on the water, little shops and houses dressed up for the festive season, and plenty of familiar seaside characters going about their day. There are Christmas trees, twinkling lights, decorations and lots of little details tucked away to discover as you piece it together.
I really enjoyed bringing this scene to life and filling it with the things that make living by the coast so special. I hope it captures a little of the magic of Cornwall in winter, when the harbours and waterfronts take on their own special charm.
It's been such a pleasure to work with Ravensburger on another Christmas puzzle, and I'm thrilled with how this one has turned out. I hope you enjoy discovering all the little details as much as I enjoyed illustrating them.
