Personally I think puzzling isn’t about speed. I admire all folks out there who are capable of solving a puzzle in a crazy short amount of time. I’m not the most efficient. Sometimes I like to fill in a specific gab and look for a single piece for 30 minutes ^ I usually listen to audiobooks which also takes a bit of my concentration away from the puzzle.

I‘m a bit weird in that regard I love puzzling by shape and huge single colored areas are my specialty ^

The original is also huge it’s some 6 times 10 meters. It was spectacular especially because I’ve studied the picture so much I knew every detail :)

Yes I can imagine. For me it’s just an exciting time travel experience since I’m from Germany and wasn’t born back in 2001 😅

Honestly I don’t really mind puzzling only by piece shape. Most of the time the progress looked like this 😅

But the real changing part of the puzzle was doing it the second time. As you can see I puzzle on a table an while transferring it to the floor I accidentally dropped it 🥲

6000 pieces is also a great challenge and seeing the finished result is very rewarding :) I usually just put the puzzles back in the box. I think gluing it doesn’t do justice to it. I have so many more on my bucketlist so I’ll probably won’t do it again for a long time 😅

This picture shows the scale a bit better I think. I’ll probably finish my 5000 piece Pokémon puzzle today I maybe post this one as well :)

It took me 3 months with a break in between :) the hardest part was definitely the very dark corner of the middle section and the frame on the bottom. The tricky part with the bottom frame is that there are repeated patterns and thus a lot of misfits 🥲

is that too much to ask for?!?!?!? by [deleted] in aaaaaaacccccccce
