An image by Finnish author and illustrator Mauri Kunnas, who makes children’s books where all the characters are dogs. Tassula could be translated as “Paw Town”. It wasn’t exactly an easy image, I ended up relying on the box image quite a lot.
Lots of funny details, though 🙂
Sheepworld is a German company that produces gift items with cute sheep images. The texts here are all in German, of course. In the middle it says “Good friends get a little kiss, the best friend your whole heart”, and underneath “Best friends forever”. Not quite my style, but I got in a lot with some other puzzles. It was actually a bit more difficult than I expected.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Lovely still life by Belgian artist Capeinick. This was enjoyable from start to finish. I bought it used for almost nothing, the box was in terrible condition, and the seller was almost certain there were pieces missing. Well, turns out it was complete and in great condition. Instead of pieces missing, there were two extra, from some other unfortunate puzzles 🙂
While it wasn’t exactly easy, it was pleasantly challenging. Ricordi Arte puzzles are great quality, but unfortunately, none of the places where I buy puzzles carry them anymore, I just occasionally find one second hand. From what I’ve read in FB puzzle groups, they seem to be a nightmare to work with, which is why almost everyone has dropped them. Too bad, because the puzzles themselves are really great.
I can’t help feeling the title is missing a noun after Tropical, but this actually seems to be the title both of the puzzle and the painting.
The extra pieces. The one with fruit (oranges?) looks like it’s from a puzzle that I would like to do.
I love this image by Mordillo where the shepherd is playing cards with the sheep. He looks quite confident, too. This was a very fast puzzle, although the tree would have been difficult in a larger piece count.
This was the last of my daily posts in January 2021, and now I will be going back to posting at least every Friday, and mostly on Tuesday as well.
Great little Heye puzzle from 2000. Could have been difficult in a larger piece count, but this was just right.
That really is a cute dachshund, no denying that, but somehow, the puzzle was just OK. The pieces are extra large, which I usually enjoy, but I couldn’t quite get into this.
Fantastic painting by Salvador DalÃ. The puzzle is part of the Ravensburger Art series, and the quality is of course great. I would love to do this in a much larger piece count, 2000-3000 pieces. I’m definitely keeping this to do again.
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.
I’ve done quite a few lighthouses, and I love stormy waters in a puzzle. This was quite worn, and many pieces had a bit of lift (as you can see), but all the pieces were still there.
I (almost) always like 500-piece Clementonis, regardless of image, but a nice image like this is especially enjoyable. Not much to say about this one, other than that I loved it 🙂
