Disney Dopey

Brand: Ravensburger
Pieces: 500
Size: 50cm x 50cm
Product Code: 152032

Yeah, my hopes from last week didn't happen! Once again, I have missed out on putting up a picture of a puzzle that fits a topical theme for the week. Even though I had the best intentions of putting up a puzzle of a shark to help celebrate Shark Week, it was unfortunately not to be. I'm so frustrated because I had the most perfect puzzle design for it too! Oh well...

Instead, I have put up a picture of Dopey- one of the dwarves from Disney's Snow White- because that perfectly suits how I'm feeling right now! This is one of several puzzles from a particular Ravensburger series- they have produced images of each individual dwarf and also one of all seven together. All are very cute and in my collection as we speak, and I hope to get all of them done eventually...

Shadows

Brand: Ravensburger
Pieces: 1000
Size: 70cm x 50cm
Product Code: 198603

On this blog, I try to be as topical as I can- posting photos of puzzles that are relevant to national or world events (if possible at the time). 

That's why I'm so annoyed at myself for my lack of foresight today, missing out on a very special event- the 50th anniversary of the Apollo Moon Landing. This was such a significant event in our history, and it's all over the media at the moment. Unfortunately, I have several space-themed puzzles that would have been perfect to commemorate this, but I have not had the chance to do them. So instead I am going to be totally shallow and put up the above make-up palette puzzle Shadows. 

The above puzzle was an absolute pleasure to do, and is quite possibly one of my favourites for the year. The colours are incredible and the design very satisfying to complete. 

There's a particular event happening next week that I have the perfect puzzle for. I'm hoping I'll find enough time to complete it so that I can put it up, but only time will tell. Life always seems to get in the way!

Fingers crossed, and I'll see you next week!

Jenny Sanders: Famous Sandman

Brand: Blue Opal
Pieces: 1000
Size: 70cm x 50cm
Product Code: BL01907

Over the last few years I have put up quite a few of Jenny Sanders' designs, which have been produced by Australian company Blue Opal. Her illustrations of classic Australian cars are always wonderful, and the sense of nostalgia you get from piecing them together is second to none. 

Above is a puzzle which features the iconic Sandman, set in a beach scene. This puzzle was a pleasure to do, with vibrant colours and an appealing design. 

I still have several more puzzles from this series in my collection, and I hope to eventually get through them all soon. Which will be next?! 

History Of Disney And Pixar Animation

Brand: Tenyo
Pieces: 1000
Size: 51cm x 73.5cm
Product Code: D-1000-473

With the recent film release of Toy Story 4, I thought it would be fitting to put up a picture of a Japanese puzzle that celebrates the wonderful film history of Disney and Pixar's collaborations.

The above puzzle was of fantastic quality (as per usual for this brand) and features a great selection of stills from some of their most popular movies. With such a bright and cheerful design, you just can't go wrong!

I really enjoyed piecing together this puzzle and look forward to doing many more by Tenyo.
