I haven't made one of my multilayer puzzles in a little while, and this picture which is from a Christmas card I purchased lent itself very nicely to the technique.
This is just a little puzzle, and I cut the pieces rather large, intending it to be just a simple, quick to assemble, touch of Christmas cheer for a friend of mine. Both layers were cut from 1/4" Poplar, and I inset some crystals into the sky to make the heavenly stars really shine.
I strictly used color line cutting within the manger as I wanted to leave kerf lines out of the "yellow" areas so that the central part of the puzzle really contrasted from the rest.
Here you can see how the layers are cut out a little better. The skies and the scenery around the manger make up the top layer, as well as one of the lambs, who stands in the foreground peering in. After assembly, and if held upright, the whole puzzle will stay tightly together, and the top layer will not slide or move.
Also, the assembler will discover a little snowflake Figural hiding underneath the top layer. I know it probably didn't snow in the desert, but I like snowflakes and they remind me of Christmas!
