Jumpin' Jive!

Brand: Ravensburger

Pieces: 500
Size: 49cm x 36cm

Product Code: 171248

We're on a nostalgia run again today! Yes I know that this kind of nostalgia is a bit ahead of my time- I have never been to a 50s-style jazz and blues jive dancing night (and am nowhere near old enough unless it's for a special retro night), but I love the idea and imagery behind it!

The quality of this puzzle was wonderful and I managed to complete it quite quickly. It's also very cute- as soon as I saw it I could just imagine the scene in front of me. I think it would be lively and fun to be involved in something like this, even if you're not familiar with any of the dances.

When was the last time you went dancing? Do puzzle images ever inspire you to try something new or revisit past interests?

Counting The Beat: Concert Tonight

Brand: Holdson

Pieces: 1000
Size: 68.8cm x 49.3cm
Product Code: 77278

Is anyone else really excited about the country's borders opening up and live music coming back?! A couple of weeks ago, my hometown Geelong hosted an impromptu concert for The Foo Fighters- I swear it was announced one day, tickets went on sale the week after and the concert was the following week! It sold out straight away of course, but they're coming back in December to Melbourne and the rest of Australia (got tickets to that one ;) )

But since then, Ed Sheeran has announced a tour and so have soooo many other international acts- I can't wait! 

I thought I'd put up this puzzle because of that. It features concert and gig posters of so many amazing bands/performers from over the years. I've even seen some of them live! This puzzle was a pleasure to put together, with a great design and well-fitting pieces. There is also an accompanying design to this one which I also have and plan to do at some stage soon. 

Are you looking forward to any upcoming concerts? How long have you been waiting to see them?

Speakeasy

Brand: Anatolian

Pieces: 1000
Size: 48cm x 66cm
Product Code:  1058

I'm a bit late off the mark posting today, but I got there in the end! 

Today's puzzle is one that stood out to me as soon as I saw the design- I was captivated by the colours, cool illustration and the general appeal of the image. How interesting is this design?!

I thought I'd put this one up today as a celebration of all things music- so many artists have announced shows that are coming to Australia, and so many tickets have been released- I can't wait for live music to start back up again!

The above puzzle was wonderful quality and I really enjoyed putting it together- I have yet to find an Anatolian puzzle I dislike :)

Dancing With Colors

Brand: Anatolian
Pieces: 500
Size: 33cm x 48cm
Product Code: 3554

When I first saw this Anatolian puzzle, I fell in love with the image. I haven't done many puzzles from this brand before because they are a little harder to get in Australia- there are only a few stockists that I have been able to find so if I really like a design, I'll get it from them. 

The collage-style artwork really stands out for me, and the colours are amazing- a bit hard to capture in a photograph! This puzzle was surprising- some parts came together really quickly while I spent a bit more time on others. But I love the overall image :)
