Where to Start
Start with the border, then build the largest and most colorful shells, since it stands out right away. Next, work on the shells around them, one at a time. After that, piece together the smaller shells and details. Finally, fill in any background, sorting those pieces by shade.

One of the most-difficult puzzles we’ve ever done: about a month’s work. Done, it’s beautiful. It’s so beautiful and was so much work we’re going to mat and frame it.
