I’ve been writing up a lot of blog posts lately as I took multiple long breaks from the blog where I didn’t write anything about the puzzles I was doing. So now that I’m trying to be much better at regularly posting, I have a pretty large backlog of puzzles that I did, took pictures of (most of the time), and am now starting to add into the blog. As I’m doing this, a few patterns are emerging that I’m…
I love a good Dowdle puzzle every now and again. They are usually gorgeous and he has a great way of capturing people, and even though in most of his puzzles they’re tiny, you can usually still make out a lot of detail. I give him and Aimee Stewart a lot of credit for being able to create such tiny details in a puzzle image. They are both excellent artists in my opinion. Plus, it certainly makes for entertaining builds…
I love the Dog Days series by Buffalo Games and have done a ton of them and have a bunch more still in my To Do Mountain. Pizza Time Pups was a super fun image. Who doesn’t love a good pizza party? These cute little guys certainly seem like they are more than ready to start chowing down. The head chef being a Corgi makes me laugh as a dog with that short of legs would have a difficult time…
This puzzle was so bright and colorful! I just loved it and would have been happy to do it in a large piece count too. At only 300 pieces, the fun was over way too quickly. The jeweled colorings on each mandala was satisfying to assemble. I am really enjoying mandala themed puzzles lately and have also started enjoying the online adult coloring websites that also feature mandalas. Some of them are simply gorgeous and I will upload a couple…
Isn’t this puzzle adorable?! I am in love with Gary Patterson’s artwork! I have a couple of his dog and cat images and they are so cute and fun to assemble. I only wish this one had been in a much larger piece count, then I could have stretched out the joy a bit longer. As with most Eurographics puzzles I’ve done, the fit was great and the matte finish lovely. Because of the small size of this puzzle at…
My mother-in-law love giraffes. They are so graceful and elegant looking that I can certainly understand why she likes them so much. They really are a beautiful animal. So when I saw this gorgeous puzzle online and that it was “only” 500 pieces I thought let me get it for her and see if she will do the puzzle and I would offer to help her out if needed. She’s not really a puzzler, but she will on occasion help…
I did this puzzle years ago, way before it became one of the most common Speed Puzzling puzzles out there. I have seen it many times on various You Tube puzzlers’ channels that I like. While I certainly did not do this as a speed puzzle, it was a quick and easy build and one I was able to knock out in a single puzzling session. Having now been to London I can appreciate this image even more. We did…
I don’t think this puzzle had any other name — at least not that I could easily find on the box. This was an impulse buy one day at the Five Below store next to my eye doctor. Surprisingly the quality was quite good on this and I enjoyed it a lot. Even better, it was actually a puzzle where Randy sat at the table with me to work on for a while. Definitely a very rare event indeed. Diet…
Isn’t this image adorable and so true as well? I loved everything about this one. It had a Boston Terrier in it which made my day. It has been a very long time since I did this puzzle and I think I gave it to Stacey to do as well. It’s just so super cute, I loved it. Dogs truly are a gift from above. I have had the pleasure of having a bunch of dog’s in my life and…
How sweet and cute is this image? I just love it! It’s a Lars Stewart image whom I am starting to like more and more. His style is very similar to, but in my opinion not quite as good as his wife, Aimee. However, I think she’s probably had quite a bit of influence on his artwork over the years and has helped him evolve into a pretty good puzzle artist in his own right. This quick and easy 500…
