The assembly of this wonderful Rowood Glittering Water Lily took me about 5h, with process filming ![]()
Let’s take a look at how my assembly process looked and what I changed in the original design.
At the very beginning, I thought I wanted to paint some of the protruding parts of the puzzle, such as the stamens, lily petals, and the green flower bases. Unfortunately, my enthusiasm didn’t last long, and I only ended up painting the tips of the stamens and the bases.
The puzzle had only one very fragile part (the kind I had trouble with in previous puzzle assemblies), but this time I surprised myself — I didn’t break anything. Not a single piece was damaged. That’s a success!![]()
Assembling the puzzle was pure joy. As always, the instructions are very clear, even for someone like me who doesn’t really know English. That’s a huge advantage.
Take a look at this short animation where I was inserting the algae and flowers into their designated places.
The final product is simply a work of art! Literally. This puzzle was inspired by the works of the famous artist Claude Monet, specifically his paintings of water lilies from his flower garden.
The puzzle also inspired me to create an illustration with purple water lilies, which I’ll show you a bit later.

I also want to share that three more characters have appeared in my Nanci x Insects series!
