Lazy Sunday



Brand: Gibsons

Pieces: 1000
Size: 68cm x 49cm

Product Code:  G6610


Hi all!

Today I have decided to put up a picture of a Gibsons puzzle that I recently did for the World Puzzle Days 2022 event. It is called Lazy Sunday, which is what I plan on having after the busy birthday festivities of last weekend! Our baby's 1st birthday celebrations were fantastic (and busy, as I said), so not much puzzling happened but we still had a great time.

The above puzzle design is a mixed media style format. I was drawn to the unusual style of the illustration, with its many textures and patterns. I thought it might be difficult to do, but actually putting it together was quite easy (working in sections and blocks). The quality of the pieces was wonderful- they were thick and sturdy. I quite enjoyed doing this puzzle and will more than likely seek out more from the brand in the future.

The Hendrix Edition

Pieces: 1000
Size: 70cm x 50cm

Have you ever done a puzzle subscription?

I've been keen to do one for quite a while but considering how many puzzles I have bought and own (and still need to do!) I haven't been able to justify adding even more to my pile! Also, I don't know how I'd be able to keep them hidden from hubby if they started coming once a month! 

But there are some awesome ones out there if you're interested. While a lot of them that I'm interested in don't ship internationally, there are a few Australian ones around...

Puzzlepost.com.au have some pretty good offers, and Journey Of Something (where the above puzzle comes from) has just started a 12-month subscription plan. They're not making it easy for me to avoid temptation!

I've done a couple of puzzles from Journey Of Something, including the one above. The illustrations/artwork are awesome and the quality of the puzzles is pretty great too. They would look fantastic framed and displayed on your walls so if you're into that kind of thing, you should check them out. 

I was in a musical kind of mood this morning, hence I have put up the above Hendrix-themed puzzle which uses lyrics from one of his songs... love it!
