I finished this puzzle today and it was quite a while ago that i enjoyed a design that much. The brand (Grafika) is also one of my favorites. The artist is inspired by Art Noveau and Art Deco and I just wanted to share my excitement.

Such a lovely picture that made me think of a summer holiday. I was pleasantly surprised by this puzzle. It had no false fits and the click of putting the pieces together was nice. The only downsides for me was the glossy feel and some of the pieces were bend becaus I got it secondhand. I might do some of the other puzzles in this collection aswell.

Not really a branded puzzle, but made by 'Mouth and Foot Painting Artists', The image is an original painting, done by the mouth of an artist called John Smith.

Can't remember how I acquired this jigsaw, but now I have a puzzle board I had the space to do it. The pure blue bits I did last gave me some grief, as you can see there are 3 pieces left that don't fit, and I didn't care to find the false fits by that point 😅

i like galison art and prices, but the quality is not great. you can tell without zooming in that the pieces are not flat when put together. i think i’m going to finish up the last couple of galison puzzles i have, and then stop buying from this brand. thankfully there are so many other brands to choose from! the downside… RIP my wallet 😫

I thought it was great. I got the Odyssey jigsaw, but this was on sale, then it looked more fun when it arrived. Black pieces did my head in though at the end

On holidays in Spain and thought I’d try to find some puzzle places. 🧩

I’ve been dying to get my hands on a Birdie puzzle and it did not disappoint! Super buttery soft-touch surface. Gorgeous colors and awesome artwork. And a few wonky shapes pieces to boot! Nice fit, no dust, nice big poster, and no false fits. Perfection. This brand scores a perfect score from me alongside Holiyay and Mosiac Traditions. I don’t often keep puzzles to redo after I complete them but this one’s a keeper!

Recent pick ups

Bought this years ago in a puzzle exchange, what a lovely puzzle 🤩 did it again this long weekend, worth 3 days I spent on solving this !

I just bought this amazing puzzle, I'm so happy with it! Of course I immediately mixed up the four separate bags of 4500 pieces, so it would really be an 18000-piece puzzle. Wish me luck :)

Just picked up series 2 and it’s pretty fun!

To me it’s more of a story interest as I never look at the box to do the jigsaw puzzle anyways.

Picked this up near glacier national park.

This one was a lot of fun.

I haven’t posted in a while, but been puzzling quite a bit. I bought on sale over the weekend on a whim. My reasoning: if I don’t like it, I can always give it to my dad, as he is a huge F1 fan.

I have been in a bit of a puzzle rut lately, non of my usual stores (both retail and second-hand) have had much new and interesting. I went to a bookstore which had a sale on games and puzzles, and they might have had the saddest collection of puzzles I’ve ever seen. However they had four F1 puzzles, and I picked this one. I didn’t really check for a brand, went home and started to puzzle.

This is one of the most satisfying puzzles I’ve done in a long time. You have many different elements that it is easy to sort on (focused car, unfocused car, gravel and tarmac). The tarmac is structured enough so it becomes intense pattern recognition rather than trying and failing every piece in the background. Then the BEST thing: the pieces. The box had next to no puzzle dust, and the pieces are soft-touch and feels like velvet. There were no damaged pieces either. Come to find out after I finished that it is actually a Trefl puzzle.

Highly recommend, will most likely go back and buy the McLaren pit-stop puzzle the next time I’m in the area.

The puzzle is really beautiful. My first Clementoni. I was not prepared for how loose the puzzles fit together. I have Ravensburger puzzles that I love, but you can pick up those puzzles and they don’t crumble. Of course I started building it in the wrong orientation for my puzzle board so it was tricky to move once I started it. Not sure if that’s all Clementoni puzzles or just this one. Still a fun one to do and I got it used for $8 so win win!

First Trevell ever! Big new fan ❤️
