It has been a long time since I pulled a larger piece count puzzle off my shelf, I do love to work on a puzzle with a lot of pieces so why wasn’t I choosing them recently?
I think it mostly comes down to the fact that they take up more space and time to complete. I did work on this over two weeks. My biggest struggle with this was that fact that I work from home. Those pieces were just calling out to me and it was tough to ignore them and do my work! Ha ha!
So I mostly just got to work on this over the weekends and some evenings.
This was also a huge puzzle, I had to assemble it on two separate foam boards and then had to put the final picture together on the floor. Many of my 2000 piecers in the past fit on one puzzle board, which definitely made the puzzling process a bit easier. I found myself juggling and maneuvering two giant boards plus a third for all the pieces, that took up a lot more time too.
Anyway, all complaining aside, I really enjoyed this puzzle. The illustration is so detailed and ornate, I just loved finding all those details and figuring out where in this chaotic and busy picture they fit.
Now let’s talk content of the picture, am I one for fairy tales, normally? No. I chose this purely for all of the line work and detail of the illustration.
I have to say, that my photos really didn’t turn out very well! There was a lot of glare and it really was tough to get a nice and clear shot of the completed puzzle sadly. But I did my best.
I got this puzzle in a trade from a Marketplace post that I had put up. I posted my Eames Office puzzle for sale and someone asked if I’d be open to trading it for their Cinderella puzzle. I had seen this image before (it is pricey, so I knew that I would never buy it brand new) and I was pretty taken with the line work so I went for it!
This is a Ravensburger puzzle, 2000 pieces and it was complete! The illustrator is Peter Church, and this was a super engaging image with an excellent level of challenge!
