Q: Connect the edge pieces. Look for pieces that might have copyright information that you can put together in a corner of the puzzle. Start filling in the middle after you've assembled the frame. Consult the picture on the box as you work on the puzzle. Study the details on the box to help you make smaller sub-piles from the pieces in the larger piles of colors and like-shaped pieces you've sorted. Look to see where the objects you start putting together belong in the picture. Use your colored piles to complete various chunks of the puzzle. Start with pieces that are large swaths of the puzzle such as a group of blues that represent the sky. Look for pieces that will form easily identifiable objects, like houses or animals. Tabs are the parts that jut out of the pieces, and blanks are their counterpart. Find tabs and blanks that will fit together -- you'll quickly recognize how the pieces match. Check for repeating patterns of how the tabs and blanks are put together in your puzzle. Use these patterns to speed up your assembly. Don't try to make the pieces fit. If they don't go together easily, it's because they do not belong in that position. Put them approximately where they go inside the frame according to the picture on the box. Build on the sections that you've already completed. Fill in the gaps around the different completed sections to finish your puzzle.
A: Construct the frame with the outside pieces. Use the picture on the box to orient yourself. Complete different color groups. Look at the shape of the pieces. Arrange your colored sections.

Q: A "popped" look can be easily achieved with gemstone colors like purples and blues. Even greens can look amazing. Make sure you have separate brushes for your different colors.
A: Choose colors that complement your look.

Q: To ensure that you're ready to bake the pizza when you've finished assembling it, it's important to preheat your pizza stone. Place it on the center rack of the oven, turn the temperature to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius), and allow it to heat fully. If you don't have a pizza stone, you can use a pizza pan instead. Just make sure to lightly grease the pan with olive oil before transferring the dough to it.
A: Preheat a pizza stone in the oven.

Q: Pulling on the reins or bracing for too long against the horse may cause the horse to lean against your hands, rush off, or become unresponsive to your aids. If your half-halt was unsuccessful, try again in another stride, this time with a little more emphasis. Remember, most of the half-halt signal comes from the seat and leg aids. You may find you don't need to do anything to the reins at all. If you do, rather than tugging on them, squeeze them gently as though squeezing a sponge. Some horses need a half halt in the first strides of their cantor or trot in order to establish the rider's control over the pace. If you wait too long for the half-halt, the horse may have gathered too much momentum to execute it. It's important that you have a precise concept of the half-halt signal and what each aid is telling the horse. Some say the half-halt is like talking to the horse, but you must know what you want to say. In short, "ho and go."
A:
Do not let the half-halt last longer than one stride. Do not overdo the reins. Do not wait too long for the half-halt. Communicate clearly to the horse with your aids.
