Puzzle log #2
Hello everyone, 3 months later I realized I haven't been writing these and since I haven't been puzzling much as of late I'll just try to catch up to today by talking about the few puzzles I ended up doing in the meantime (most of them done in march/april). Lets get.. Starteeedd!!!
I did end up finishing the mask puzzle! And I think it's still one of my favourites I've done to date.. it was very difficult but suuper satisfying to see the finished thing. heres a picture:
After it, I decided I needed something easier to wind down, So I did this Mark&Spencer 500 piece puzzle "retro toys", and i LOVED IT!!!
the image is unbearably cute + perfect for a puzzle. there was not a moment doing it where I was not having fun. I even did it twice lol.. I'm aware of there being a 1000piece variant, but I don't think I'm at the point of acquiring doubles lolol
I did end up ordering the chesire cat puzzle I mentioned last time - and It was fun! The background was surprisingly difficult, I think it took me 5ish hours to do in one sitting.. Somewhere along the way I went to a thrift store and got myself a couple more puzzles, one of which was a personalized 250ish piece puzzle of your home location.. I apologize to the familiy I just doxxed ^_^
Last but not least, For half of may i spent my time puzzling this 1500 astrology type puzzle I'm too lazy to find the actual name of...
(the two pieces at the top are there, i just ended up kicking it and didn't notice when i took the pic - the piece on the bottom wasn't there when I ordered the puzzle) To be honest this one was a bit of a dissapointment... the image is very pretty, but in reality the print was much darker than I thought it was going to be, so parts like the bottom right + all the shadow bits were a nightmare to piece together if not in direct sunlight, Which is why it took me basically half a month to finish the entire thing... That said, once I got into the groove it was a fun time :-)
for about another half of a month I've been trying to finish this puzzle of Van Gogh's "skeleton with a cigarette" But iii... pretty much Gave up on it >_< I knew it was going to be hard cause its basically 50% black background and then various paintbrush strokes of beige, but on top of that the puzzle cut is just really bad, A lot of pieces go together where they shouldn't, It's disappointing to say the least... No worries though. I have a couple more puzzles I still haven't done - one is a puzzle crossword, and the other is of a train that I thrifted.. Well those are all my thoughts. Bye
