The process of adhering together a completed jigsaw construction with a bonding agent, creating a permanent, unified artwork, is a specific craft. Applying adhesive to a finished collection of interlocking pieces preserves the design for display and prevents its disintegration.
Permanently fixing a completed jigsaw provides several advantages. It allows for the showcasing of intricate designs, offering a sense of accomplishment to the assembler. Furthermore, it transforms a temporary pastime into lasting decor. Historical examples include artists integrating puzzle-solving into mixed media artwork and hobbyists creating personalized wall art.
