Mickey Puzzle

This is the jig saw puzzle that I mentioned in my previous post. This is the real thing and I took this photo after approx 7 manhours (2 person for 3.5 hrs). We started at about 8pm and at around 11pm plus, we decided to call it a day. Was too excited and so didn't take a photo right from the very start... So the 1st image was our progress as of 7 manhours into the project.



This was after another 2 man hours. We did it in an hour on one of the nights before the Z monster caught up with us... Progress after approx 9 manhours.



Another view of it... as you can see some parts of the borders were in.



Borders were completed. Now this is a unique case where we started with the centre first and not the borders... It's all white, so no point starting on the borders. When we placed the borders, we did the trial and error method which was quite time consuming. Thus, this was after 11 manhours...



Now, it's completed after all the small gaps were filled. it's also done by trial and error... This was really tough and it took about 3 manhours to try each piece out.. Finally, the puzzle was done after approx 14 manhours.. This is a 1000 piece puzzle.

It is over! Hahaha... This is one of the few puzzles that we finished in a very very short time and I personally enjoyed this puzzle a lot...

A different approach totally cos we didnt start with the border... But nice...

Ya.. I wonder how long does an average person takes to finish a 1000 pc puzzle... I enjoyed this too especially since I'm doing it with someone I love so much.

it's an interesting past time but what do u all do with the jiagsaw after that?

No no no.... this is not just a past time. This is serious stuff. Every piece is handled with passion and every piece is placed in with passion. At times, when we feel that there's not enough passion when we place it in, we will just take that piece out and put it in again. Never call this just a past time. It's about 2 individuals coming together, putting together what needs to be placed together for complete balance. Pressing on until the vision is complete. This is not your average jigsaw you'll find elsewhere. These puzzles are done with someone you love hor Dear Dear..
