Rio de Janeiro, 2018-01-23

A colourful collage with touristy images of Brazil. I think this was the first 3000-piece puzzle that was in two bags for me. I felt a bit of a cheat, but I  didn’t mix the bags. That way, the table was enough and I didn’t have to use auxiliary pieces of cardboard. It was an enjoyable puzzle, I especially appreciated the colours.

Map of Great Britain, 2018-01-31

A map of Great Britain and Ireland, with some information about Oxford University on the left. I prefer maps of individual countries to world maps, usually, perhaps because I’ve done so many world maps. This was nice, although the actual map part was quite difficult.

Art Puzzle is a Turkish brand, and the quality turned out to be good, with a glossy finish.  Great news, because they’re also quite cheap! The pieces are a bit smaller than  usual, but not by much.

I really like Karla Gerard’s colourful villages, they make great puzzles, although sometimes the trees can be difficult. Not here, though, this was nice from start to finish. Also, I seem to have finished this on my 50th birthday 🙂
