Movers & Shakers, 2022-01-02

This was a great image, and the quality was not as bad as my last 500 piece Gibsons. It’s ribbon cut, which I don’t like, for some reason, and the fit wasn’t great (but OK).

I’ve done some really lovely 1000 piece Gibsons in between (they were grid cut and great in every way), but I wasn’t happy with The Missing Piece. Even so, turns out I was lucky, because I saw someone post about the same puzzle on FB, and they had entire rows of pieces missing, and doubles of other pieces.

Anyway, mediocre quality, but it was still pretty fun to put together!

This was a great puzzle to start off 2022, with a really nice image, and some text as well. This is another 1500 piece Bluebird, and again, I find the quality astoundingly good for the price. The puzzle was manufactured in Turkey, and has smaller pieces than usual, so that the finished puzzle is the size of a regular 1000 piece puzzle. The fit is excellent, quite tight, but not so tight it’s difficult to take apart. All in all a wonderful puzzle.

While I’m not planning any trips to Florida, I do hope that travel will become easier in 2022, so this puzzle is a fitting start in that respect as well 🙂
