Another Dalí painting, they really make great puzzles. I thought this might be difficult, and after doing the red and green cloth (?) I did have a moment of not quite knowing what to do next. I ended up completing the edges, and after that I just put a few pieces in here and there with no real plan, which is my favourite way of puzzling.
A painting by Bruegel from 1560 with children playing. The painting is incredibly detailed, and it worked well as a puzzle, although towards the end I relied on the box quite a lot.
Even though the painting is over 450 years old, there are games that I recognize from my childhood. The two “riders” are trying to pull the other one from their “horse”, and whoever stays in the saddle longer wins. Here the horse is formed by two children, but our “horses” were just one person and the “rider” rode piggyback. It was quite similar to this game.
This is not something that we used to do, but I think the children sitting down are trying to trip up the ones going through. There were lots of fun details, but definitely didn’t understand all of the games.
An image by Ruyer showing a brothel being evacuated during a fire. Some funny details (like the orchestra playing on), and it was a nice enough puzzle.
Great collage with four vintage posters for races in Italy. Many collages try to fit in too many images, and I really enjoyed this. It was a bit more difficult than I expected, but not much.
I originally completed this in 2017, but I have no photo of that. Later I took the puzzle to work, where both staff and customers have worked on it. There’s a piece missing in the photo, but I found it after I had taken the puzzle apart. Yes Roomba, I’m looking at you again.
A very enjoyable puzzle! The pieces for most of the different bottles were easy to pick out, and at the end, I was left with a small number of white(ish) pieces.
I was moved to have a glass of port 🙂
A collage of beers by Austrian brand Piatnik, and amazingly, there’s a Finnish beer in there, last on the second row from the bottom (Lapin kulta).
So, I completed this in 2009, and then gave it away, but I just realized, I still have it. I bought another copy in 2017, so that I’ve now bought a new copy of this puzzle twice 😀 It’s happened with DVDs, I’ve bought the same twice by mistake sometimes, although never one that I had already watched. I like these collages, but clearly, it was not all that memorable. I’ve not completed the new one yet.
This puzzle is missing from my records, but since the photo was taken on February 15th, 2009, I’m assuming that’s when I finished it. I don’t have the puzzle anymore, but I’m pretty sure the brand was Piatnik. I don’t know the correct title either, but the image is Andrea Pozzo’s painting in the church Sant’Ignazio, in Rome.
Quite easy, although there were several green(ish) spices that looked the same.
I really like this image of fancy cocktails. it was fun until I got to the all-black pieces – then it got really slow.
