Part of the Grafika Travel around the World-series. I expected Antarctica to be more difficult, but it turned out to be pretty easy.

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.

I love painted cakes and pastries, but, once again, this turned out to be more difficult than I expected. It was still a great puzzle, lots of text and cake 🙂

Cartoon version of Cleopatra arriving in Rome by Hugo Prades. Nice puzzle, the crowd in the harbour was pretty difficult, though.

I really loved this! The image is a portrait of Parisian art critic and anarchist Félix Fénéon, painted by Paul Signac in 1890. The image works really well as a puzzle, and it was great fun working on the different colours and patterns.

Nice, but unremarkable.

Very enjoyable cartoon image with many fun details.

Lovely collage with colourful owls. This was very enjoyable.

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 🙂
