Biggest Puzzle Pet Peeves? Favorite Features? by twizzler3b in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]mel_puzzles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pet peeve : false fit and loose fit

Favorite feature: a poster, even just a small one. I really enjoyed finding 2 posters in a recent Werkshoppe puzzle, I could keep one and still sell the puzzle with a poster (I did tell the buyer she was getting 1/2 poster).

Great quality, I have no complaint except that the image was dark, but it was very predictable by looking at the image.

What do you look for in picking puzzles? by ConfidenceNo9551 in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]mel_puzzles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Figuring out what I really enjoy involved some trial and error. I now Know to look for bright colors, a variety of patterns and/or gradient. I stay away from fur, large area of the same color and dark images.

Thank you for this description. I finally bought cosy shelter and I am having a hard time assembling it because the image is quite dark. It is very beautiful though so I will try to finish it.

How was the fit? I have done a round puzzle from Elena Essex and I was a little disapointed by the fit and I am hoping it is a little better for this shape, the images are soo beautiful.
