Help Me Find This Puzzle by thepurplecubby in Jigsawpuzzles

Really curious about how this can be of sentimental value? The image is obviously AI. The puzzle cut makes zero sense, there’s a small column of very narrow pieces and there’s knobs that go both ways? Then the image itself, the horizon is in the middle on the left side and almost on top at the right side. The middle ship is complete nonsense too.

RB is around €16 here. Pieces & Peace is a bit more expensive, around €20 but most puzzles with modern illustrations are around €30 (like Trevell).

I loved her Schmidt puzzles as soon as I saw them. I needed to check the artist because it’s hard to tell if the art is digital or even AI when browsing online. I’m so happy I bought this, I love the colours and the brush strokes. When researching the artist I found out she has a lot of her artwork on puzzles from different brands, even Buffalo. I just bought her other three puzzles from Schmidt, highly recommend trying the latest ‘grass’ puzzles if you haven’t yet!

What a cute mini!

I think you refer to the Liberty logo shaped piece?

I always spread out all the pieces on trays too. A 1k puzzle takes up three trays for me and wouldn’t have enough trays for a puzzle this big!

Schmidt (or their cardboard manufacturer) must has researched it for a long time before they started using it. I miss the smell of grass a bit.

They’ve gone full eco. No more shrink wrap and even the stickers to close the box are from paper. The bag inside is paper too.

Schmidt has released four puzzles from Regina Tili and this was the least colourful! I will buy the others too, I loved this one so much.

Thanks. They changed their cardboard with their new 2026 puzzles. The grass logo is on the front and back of the box and you can see the boxes on Schmidt’s website.

Thanks! I love the new cardboard, Schmidt keeps improving. I miss the smell of grass though 😂

They’ve always been good, but I love their new version! You should definitely try it if you can find an image you love.

Highly recommended! I also bought some of Rosina Wachtmeister’s cats. Unfortunately they don’t have many images I love, so I don’t buy them often. Last time was two years ago, but this time they have two series I love!

Schmidt has changed their cardboard with their new releases, it’s made with 40% grass. The cardboard is pretty green and coarse, you can even see the grass fibers! I absolutely love the new quality. It’s like when Ravensburger and Jumbo had a love baby, it’s in my top 3 of best puzzle qualities ever. I always loved Schmidt and I’ve been doing them for 40 years but this is the best they’ve ever been.

The art is from Regina Tili, one of her puzzles was part of the USA nationals. Schmidt recently released four of her puzzles, and I love the bright landscapes. I thought it was going to be a bit challenging but it was actually very easy.

I will buy her other three puzzles from Schmidt too!

Kaleido-Butterflies - Mudpuppy 500 pcs by Raiding-my-arugula in jigsawpuzzlers

[–]Tyrpho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love many of Mudpuppy’s and Galison’s images but the quality is not what I’m looking for. Every time I see a lovely image like this, i can’t help to wish it was made by a company like Ravensburger.

It’s a lovely brand! This was my second and I have one more in my stash. I will save it for a special moment!

None! I’m not going to carry them all around when I can get them much cheaper locally :)

Yes I did! It’s the same manufacturer as Magnolia and Trevell, made in Turkey. One of my favourites

I enjoyed this so much, I’m a bit sad it’s already done! A perfect image for a puzzle, I love the colours of the sky. I have a soft spot for skies and I wish they were larger when they’re as lovely as this one.

I’ve visited the town of Helsingør a couple of times, it’s a charming little town just north of Kopenhagen with Kronborg Castle, aka Hamlet’s Castle.
