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.
I’ve done a few Titanic puzzles, but this is probably the best so far. Clementoni is an excellent brand, and there are many interesting details in the image. Text is always a huge plus 🙂 I really loved this, and will probably do it again one day.
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 .
When I bought this I didn’t realize this is actually a football-related puzzle – it shows the participants arriving in Rio de Janeiro for the 2014 world cup. I thought it was just another cartoon puzzle of a city 🙂
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.
As you may remember, the library where I work has a puzzle out for customers to work on. Originally, the puzzles were all from me, but then other people started bringing in puzzles as well, and this is one of those. I borrowed it and did it at home. Many Kandinsky paintings make great puzzles, and this was definitely one of those.
Another Egyptian image, this time an authentic one. To the left is the goddess Hathor, and to the right pharaoh Seti I (1290–1279 BC). I enjoyed the puzzle very much, although it wasn’t that easy, and I remember glare was a problem. Nathan puzzles have a glossy finish.
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.
Rosina Wachtmeister’s paintings almost always include cats, and this is no exception. It was much harder than it looks, but looking at the image now I still can’t work out why 🙂
Great puzzle with many fun details! Venice has wanted to ban large cruise ships in the Venice lagoon for years for the damage they do, but it is, of course, difficult, because they obviously bring a lot of money. Here, it seems one ship is turned away.
I was on a cruise from Venice once, it was in December 2010, and when we returned, it snowed. The Piazza San Marco in the snow was, perhaps, even more beautiful than usual, but I do understand the need to move cruise ships further away from the historic town.
