Happy Dawgs

Brand: Cra-Z-Art

Pieces: 1000
Size: 69cm x 51cm

Product Code: -

My husband's cousin got a brand new puppy during the week and so I couldn't help but want to put up a dog-related puzzle image! 

I did this puzzle (design by Dean Russo) a little while ago and it was more challenging than I anticipated. 

I think it was the multiple colours that got me. Dean Russo's artworks are very similar in style but I enjoy doing them. They always look very striking, and the best thing is, so many companies have produced his work, so you can always find a great design by him. This one is from Cra-Z-Art but I have also done puzzles featuring his artwork by Aquarius (and probably others, which I just can't think of at the moment). 

Do you have a favourite artist whose puzzles you always try to get and complete? Dean Russo isn't my favourite, but he would have to be in my Top 10 at least!

T-Rex On The Prowl

Brand: Puzzlebug

Pieces: 100
Size: 22cm x 28cm

Product Code: -

I thought I'd go with a quick and easy one today- only 100 pieces! 

The new Jurassic World: Dominion film has been released and although I haven't yet seen it, I thought this puzzle would be relevant.  Yes, these puzzles are cheap quality, but they have many interesting images and designs, and I still enjoy doing them! 

This one has been sitting in my collection of photos for a while so I thought I'd put it up today. I might put up something a bit more challenging next week- I'm just running a bit behind today...

Cleopatra



Brand: Bluebird

Pieces: 1000
Size: 68cm x 48cm

Product Code: -

It's the Queen's Birthday long weekend and I'm so excited for the public holiday! Unfortunately, I only have one puzzle of Queen Elizabeth (which I haven't yet done), so I can't put that up. But in the spirit of Queens, I have decided to instead put up a picture of a puzzle I did featuring the infamous Egyptian queen, Cleopatra!

This puzzle was from Bluebird and is one of several from a series which features famous names in Egyptian history. I loved the quality and design of this puzzle, although I haven't yet gotten around to doing the others that I have. I might have to unearth them from my collection and get them completed soon.

Balloon Reflections

Pieces: 500
Size: 46cm x 28cm

Product Code: -

Hi all!

In keeping with what I planned on doing last week regarding puzzle posting in themes and by national days, boy have we got a lot of options for this week!

I'm going to have to make a proper list so that I can do the puzzles well in advance and have the photos ready to go when it's time. This weekend is Queen Elizabeth's platinum jubilee (and since Australia is still part of the Commonwealth, it's still relevant, although not as much as it once was). So I could have put up a puzzle I have of her, but unfortunately I haven't yet completed it. 

During the week it was National Reconciliation Week. I started doing an Aboriginal artwork designed puzzle but once again, didn't finish it in time for today's photo post. Maybe next week? 

It's also Pride Month so I have the option to put up a nice 'love is love' type puzzle within the next few weeks :)

We also had National Donut Day and National Cheese Day, but today I'm going with a day which is to be celebrated tomorrow (since it's the only one I am prepared for) and that is Hot Air Balloon Day! 

This was just a cheap Puzzlebug puzzle so the quality was passable but I liked the imagery so why not? 

I'm really going to need to make that list and work from it soon!
