This was a great, unique puzzle. The images are photos taken from space by French astronaut Thomas Pasquet. There was a similar 500-piece puzzle, and I’m now kicking myself for not getting that as well. They are now both out of print.
A painting by Robert Delaunay from 1930. This worked great as a puzzle and I enjoyed it very much.
There was one strange thing, though. We all know about pieces that fit where they don’t belong, but here I had the inverse problem of a piece not quite fitting where it very definitely does belong. Even though the photo is a bit blurred, you can see that two of the edge pieces don’t quite fit. There weren’t many edge pieces of this particular colour, though, and this was the only way to put them together that worked .
Protests in various languages by my favourite artist Marino Degano. This was originally released in 1994 as a 4000 piece puzzle called Pro and Contra.
There’s a bit of advertising here “Fun for hours on end – Heye Puzzle”, fighting peace protesters, and also a couple of football fans. Below on the left, a guy holds a sign saying Aux chiottes l’arbitre (To hell with the referee in French), and he’s wearing an Adidas shirt. From the colours, I thought of Bayern Munich first, but since the sign is in French, it may be a French team that I don’t know. The guy next to him is definitely a Juventus fan. Then there’s the lady holding up the Hamburg forever sign – may or may not be football-related.
An elephant holds up a sign that says “You have to be completely insane to do a puzzle like this” in German 🙂
This is one of my favourite puzzles ever. I love the image, and it’s part of the MasterPieces EZGrip-series, with XL pieces. I had an extra piece, so someone is probably missing one.
The castle is coming together, and it’s a lot of fun! Some of the walls and the grass was easiest to pick out, so that’s where I’ve started.
So, I was actually going to post a Halloween puzzle, but of course, I started way too late. I’ve started two, but I expect it will be Christmas before they’re both finished 🙂
I started what must be the ultimate Halloween puzzle yesterday here in Dortmund:
Loup’s Castle of Horrors. I’m expecting this to be one of my favourite Loup puzzles of all time.
Back in Helsinki, I started working on a mystery puzzle with a similar theme. Here’s a little spoiler from that:
I love the hat 🙂
Happy Halloween!
I loved this! A great image by Chuck Pinson. This had a more matte finish, while most of the Grafikas I’ve done have been very glossy.
A nice and easy one, very enjoyable!
It’s been a long time since I read Peter Pan (or saw the movie), and I have no idea who the bearded guy hiding behind the rocks is.
I finally finished this! I knew the red bit was going to challenging, but I didn’t expect it to take almost two months 🙂 The black doodles were not much help, but the quality was good, and there were also some differences in shade, with some areas brighter red than others.
There were over 500 red pieces, and when there were about 430 left I started using an app to keep count of how many pieces I’d placed. I’ve tried it before, but I always forgot to use it after a couple of pieces, but here it worked well, and it was good to see progress on the counter when somehow the puzzle looked the same … I used the counter until I had about 160 pieces left, after that it went so fast there was no point anymore.
I really like the image, too bad about the missing piece (near the top, in the black area).
Part of the Grafika Travel around the World-series. I expected Antarctica to be more difficult, but it turned out to be pretty easy.
