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.
