I really liked putting this puzzle together. Even though dubious at first- the pieces felt a bit thin and flimsy, plus it’s ‘made in China’ so I expected finger pain (very mild, and only at the end of a particularly long sitting). I like the painterly look of the image, it appears to be a digital painting but a very nice one. One of the parrots’ heads seems a bit flat on top, which looks odd to me though. The pieces had great shape variety, which I didn’t at all expect. There was only one missing, and I patched in a respectable replacement using three layers of thin cardboard, card stock and colored pencils. I think I did a decent job with it this time. Asked my kid to spy out the replacement piece and it took them a minute or two. They had to scan the puzzle methodically to find it, and then suggested a few improvements on my blending and color match, which I did, so now it’s even better:
Finished size 18.5 x 26″.
