NewTricks Posted January 16 Author ID:1611822 Share Posted January 16 The next "onsite" fun The master puzzler does a 1000 piece in 3 days. She's now completing a 3,000 piece which has taken over 2 months. Who's keeping track? Then there's me. We have taken over the room, which boasts an enormous screen, spanning two tables. The kicker is, no cable. Just for playing outdated media. 🤨 I'm much happier at the "office" but they close down for holidays and semester breaks. Headed there now.....

This requires extra patience. (short supply!) The finished size is 27 " tall, by 20" wide. My first attempt at choosing edge pieces is probably around 40% accurate. Surprisingly, memories are returning from prior shaped puzzles as I do this one. (Un)fortunately, I can't "run around", so can dedicate myself to it.

Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted January 18 Root Admin ID:1612345 Share Posted January 18 I see you already have purposefully chosen specific patterns and gathered together in groups. Same perspective as most people would be my guess. Surprising would be someone that sees the connection per-piece without being in a group. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. That would be very advanced, with sophisticated spatial recognition skills. Edited January 19 by NewTricks grammar 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewTricks Posted January 23 Author ID:1613067 Share Posted January 23 This lost its 'lovin' feeling' and is back in a closet with other puzzles. I may need a break. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewTricks Posted January 31 Author ID:1614930 Share Posted January 31 (edited) OK. I decided the Wolf puzzle is also moot since I shouldn't be walking for anything but necessities. Getting from home up into the library is a trek of 2-3 city blocks. 😒 Although I do relish my return. My Dritz sewing mat, made for cutting fabrics, is now a base for the Italian hillside by the sea. As good as it gets. Somewhat crowded, or "cozy." ☺️ Edited January 31 by NewTricks Added jpeg for continuity 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewTricks Posted February 5 Author ID:1615843 Share Posted February 5 I completely went bonkers. Plans to start on the buildings were forgotten as I sorted the monotone purple, pink & blues. I expected these to be the most difficult. Wrong. Two things are indispensible for success: a small LED task light and a container which has removeable dividers. Perspective is also key. In this limited space, heavy sorting by section is my ticket. ✨ Hopefully puzzle completion will coincide with more mobility.🤞🏼 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That brand was best for stability. I could lift one corner & the entire sheet held together. I've never seen anything like it before.
