Puzzle #6 - Ravensburger - Abandoned Series Deserted Department Store - 1000 pieces

Puzzle #6 of 2023
Finished January 25, 2023

I was clearly ready for more of a challenge after the 300 piece puzzle.  :)  This one should do it!  Took awhile to get the border put together.  I remember that Ravensburger puzzles are always much darker than they appear to be in the picture.  But that is okay - you just have to get your mind around the difference.  I do wish they had a poster - especially since they cut off the bottom right corner a bit and put that silly puzzle piece emblem at the top.  Just give us a poster!  Please!  This should be a fun and engaging puzzle and I look forward to working on it this week as time allows.  Starting 2023 well with puzzling!  So happy!















Whew!  Finally finished this one!  Granted, I didn't get to work on it much until about 3 days ago, but it was a bear to finish!  Up through the last 5 pieces I was still convinced that some wouldn't fit or were mistakes.  :)  I forget that Ravensburger colors just don't match up.  They are always much darker on the puzzle piece than they appear in the image - and the shades are even different.  The pieces are just darker overall so it is hard to tell as much distinction.  That can get tiring.  I can't see the pieces well enough to really ascertain any details so end up just trying shapes all over the place to see what will fit.  I did like the image, but by the end, I was ready to be done.  I think 2023 is already starting stressful enough that I will focus on happier and easier puzzles for a bit.  Not a terrible puzzle, but clearly not my favorite.  (Loved The Dressmaker's Daughter earlier this month!)  And ugh about no poster.
