ABSTRACT:
A three-dimensional jigsaw puzzle sculpture is provided for use in retaining puzzle pieces in assembled form in a decorative piece of art. The jigsaw puzzle sculpture includes a frame which defines the shape of the sculpture, and puzzle assembled to the frame. The frame has a three-dimensional configuration and includes a channel extending around the periphery of each frame section to hold the puzzle pieces in place. Each frame section provides a substantially planar surface circumscribed by a channel, which planar surface provides a support for the puzzle pieces. The planar surfaces include one or more apertures which are utilized to remove the puzzle pieces from the frame. Separable frame members are assembled to one another utilizing pin and hole interlocks. The three-dimensional jigsaw puzzle sculpture, when fully assembled, provides a decorative piece of art which may be subsequently disassembled and reassembled as desired.
