Jigsaw Sphere With Text
Here is a very simple way to have a sphere made out of jigsaw pieces with text on it using GIMP
| 1) Start with a square canvas, I have taken 256×256 pixels size. Go to filters — Render — Jigsaw. select the curved style from jigsaw options and increase number of vertical and horizontal pieces to 9, or whatever you like. You should get something similar to IMAGE 1 |

| 2) Add required text in few of the pieces, Since you have to place text in different pieces you will have to put each character one at a time. You should have something similar to IMAGE 2 |

| 3) Finally on this image run filters — Map — Map Objects - Select Sphere as the object to be mapped to. Play around with the orientation tab to move the sphere in x y or z axis etc. Once you are satisfied with the settings click ok. You should get you sphere ready. See IMAGE 3 |
