Charles Wysocki: Trick Or Treat Hotel

Brand: Buffalo

Pieces: 500
Size: 54cm x 38cm

Product Code: 3872

Despite their popularity, this is the first Charles Wysocki puzzle I have ever owned or done, and I couldn't have been more pleased with the end result. I hadn't done many Halloween-themed puzzles before so I thought it might be time to get into the spirit of the spooky season. 

This puzzle stood out to me with its elaborate detail and overall coolness, so I decided to go with it. The colours and design were fantastic and the illustration was so detailed. 

I'll probably end up doing more of this guy's designs over time- this was a great introduction to his work!

I'm gonna be pretty busy with work over the next few weekends so my puzzle-posting schedule might be a little off. I usually post on a Saturday morning here at home but I will be interstate and very busy for the next two weekends so that won't be possible. I might have to post on the Wednesday's preceding before I leave, so if you don't hear from me for a little while (or if the days are a bit off) that'll be the reason why...

Take care, and keep on puzzling!

Halloween is approaching, and what better puzzle to do than one that incorporates all the spooky fun of the day! 

I never used to be terribly interested in Halloween- I thought it was a very commercial and unnecessary day that we had adopted from other countries. But over the last few months, I have been invited to a party and seen all the excitement surrounding it, and now I'm kind of in the mood! Haha! I'm actually looking forward to dressing up and seeing other people's costumes now, and I'm looking forward to the day when my daughter is old enough to want to get involved. My, how things change...

Anyway, this puzzle is the only one in the Pennywinks catalogue so far. They released it through their Amazon page and are Australian. There are more puzzles apparently in the pipeline. The quality was wonderful, the colours more vibrant than my photo shows and the pieces fit together perfectly. While it was a little on the expensive side to purchase- I bought it when they put it on sale- I will definitely be looking at whatever else they have to offer in the future.
