Oh dear.. all that white Lari !!

And mine is 'all that dark'...
This is hard.. it's taking me forever to get the border, which is never good, since there are limited pieces to work with...

And I’m starting on a new one (decided not to look at the box!)

Wowza!! How long did it take you to do that one? It's so pretty!

I think it was about 2 weeks? The new one looks harder, a lot of the sections have very similar looking pieces.

Yesterday was so-so

And then today it finally started clicking.

I love Ingrid’s soulless eyes - they kind of haunt you!

It’s looking great, Lari . I didn’t post an update because I spent the whole day, or maybe it has been two, without making any real progress. One of those puzzles that starts out easy but gets harder.

Lari Looks amazing!

Oh I've got one of those too.

Lari, that's amazing!!!

 

[Lari]

DONE!!!!!!

I'm going to start an easier one tomorrow. I just need to bask today.

 

[susanm9006]

Way to go Lari ! Are you going to do another one?

 

[Lari]

Yes! But I think I'm going to do an easier one as a bit of a break. It was a great challenge, though! I'm kind of sad at the idea of taking it apart.

 

[Mia6]

Lari That is beautiful!!
susanm9006 Yours is so colorful and looks very difficult!

 

[mani]

Well done Lari !
That was a hard one.. you did well.

One thing to point out for those who don’t complete puzzles often - the shape of the pieces, not just the image, really makes a big difference in how difficult a puzzle is to complete. If you look at Lari’s, with all the pieces cut in squares of the approximate same size and the whole puzzle cut in rows, and then compare it to the puzzle I am working on where every piece is different and the whole puzzle has no pattern to how it was cut. Even if we had identical images, Lari’s would have been much much more difficult to complete. If you aren’t familiar with puzzle manufacturers then you want to be sure to look at the back of the puzzle box to see the shape of pieces from this maker. I personally like pieces of different shapes, so buy most often from Buffalo Games, Springbok or White Mountain.

Thanks everyone! Confession time: neither my husband nor I had ever actually seen Casablanca from start to finish, so we watched it last night to go with my puzzle finish. Great movie!

I think Cobble Hill and Euro Graphics use the random cut pieces.
