The Carolina Beach Buckets puzzle by artist Donna Elias is a 500-piece panoramic jigsaw puzzle featuring all seven lighthouses of North Carolina. In short, it’s a fun, colorful tribute to the Carolina coast.
About the Artwork
Each beach bucket features one of the seven North Carolina lighthouses: Currituck, Bodie, Hatteras, Ocracoke, Lookout, Bald Head and Oak Island.
Donna Elias does a beautiful job of highlighting each lighthouse while creating a fun image for a puzzle. In addition, her soft style gives the buckets a cheerful, beachy feel.
As a result, it’s a great puzzle for lighthouse collectors and anyone who loves the Outer Banks and the southern beaches.
Where to Start
Start with the long top and bottom edges, then the short sides, to frame the panoramic shape. Next, build each beach bucket one at a time, using its lighthouse as a guide. After that, fill in the sand and background between the buckets. Because the buckets run side to side, two people can start at opposite ends.
