I love this method, I have to try it, I usually rummage through the box and pick the ones I want.

@fortheloveofpuzzles 2 месяца назад

Try it on a smaller 500 or 1000 piece puzzle. And I did pick and choose out of the box but definitely did not do a big mix - you can tell a lot more pieces were picked out from the right side of the puzzle.

This method looks chaotic but you definitely made me curious about it; might have to try it with a 500 piece first. It was so interesting seeing you and Vicky tackle the same puzzle, I think Vicky's approach is more my style 😂

@fortheloveofpuzzles 2 месяца назад

Definitely give it a go on a busy 500 piece puzzle. I definitely would not do this on a puzzle which was more sortable (at least more sortable in my opinion).

@clarkkent7973 2 месяца назад

I did Ravensburger's "Grand Library" puzzle (1500 pieces), and really wished that it had been a 3000 or 5000 piece puzzle since there was so much detail. A big poster like this would have been so helpful for the completion of the Grand Library puzzle. I guess the joy of the "Grand Library" puzzle was discovering details that you really couldn't see on the box picture.

@fortheloveofpuzzles 2 месяца назад

I'm glad this puzzle was as big as it was or else all the detail would have been lost. Grand Library is a beautiful puzzle - would love to do at 3000 pieces.

Lots of small puzzle pieces can be overwhelming for me since I like pieces to be within reach. If I have to walk around too much it becomes difficult. Judy from addicted to puzzles is amazing at making massive size puzzles. It takes extra patience, extra love, extra perseverance. It is a mental and physical endurance exercise. Busy image puzzles that are large like in the 5K and up are a big project. Pat yourselves on the back ladies🙌🏻🧩❤️

I love the image! Colin Thompson puzzles are very enjoyable, I really like the busyness of his puzzles. I build these types of puzzles the same way you are building it, find the image, place it on the board. I have just never build a puzzle this large, 2000 pc is the largest I have gone. Loving your explanation of things and the video itself! 🧩🧩🧩

@fortheloveofpuzzles 2 месяца назад

@amandaegeskovhald8222 2 месяца назад

I tried this method a few months ago, just as a challenge to myself. It was this beautiful 1000 piece rainbow puzzle with a bunch of seahorses. ...I can't say I like it! x) All of the loose pieces just floating around on the table absolutely stressed me out, I just did not enjoy it at all. Not my vibe at all, it's a WILD way of doing a puzzle, just chaos from start to finish! And I also didn't like that I had to study the image so hard. Part of the fun of puzzling for me is discovering the image as I put the pieces together. I LOVE that you can work on one section and have no idea what it is, then you put in enough pieces and "zoom out" and it reveals itself to you. Love that :D

@fortheloveofpuzzles 2 месяца назад

It's definitely not a puzzling method for everyone. I would always suggest that if you want to give it a first try, to do on a busy 500 piece puzzle for a start. But glad you gave it a go and now you know it's not for you. Not what I do with every puzzle, if I feel they are more sortable, then I definitely revert to doing so.

@Lyntintin1 12 дней назад

I do something similar with busy puzzles. I do tend to pull out edges first so I can have a contained puzzle, then words if there are any and then I use the poster or the box to place the pieces in the right area then transfer to the puzzle table. And once you get to 1000 pcs it will be very quick!!! just filling in empty places.

@fortheloveofpuzzles 12 дней назад

Definitely once the edge was done, the puzzle felt just better and easier to work with. It was so spread out there at first.

@Scott_M 2 месяца назад

Great watching you and Vicky do this and see the difference in approaches. The puzzle looks great as well. I’m just about to start a 2000 piece which is my first ever puzzle over 1000 pieces! Good luck with the rest of the puzzle! 👍

@@fortheloveofpuzzles Thanks! I’m doing the Ravensburger Paris Sunset puzzle. Loved the image as soon as I seen it with different wee things here and there in it. Took me ages to pick it as I wanted my first 2000 piece to be an image that I was attracted to rather than just one I picked quickly.

@gilbertbarnett8225 2 месяца назад

Every time I watch one of your videos and I hear "two pieces connected", before you can say "I'm going to keep these together", I've already shouted, 'No! Take them apart!" I can't do it. My brain doesn't let me keep them together. It is probably the weird perfectionist part of my brain.

@fortheloveofpuzzles 2 месяца назад

😂😂I finally managed to convince Alison not to separate pieces when we are speed running a new unopened puzzle. She's actually taken pieces apart and then put them immediately back together.

@erikaemmasyt 2 дня назад

Interesting technique I have not done exactly like this before but am currently doing a 1500 piece puzzle wth a forrest landscape that is basically all different greens. I decided to approach it by not sorting that much and started with the top left corner of the puzzle and am slowly working my way out from that ☺

@fortheloveofpuzzles День назад

Is it almost more like a gradient of green colours??

Give it a try on a busy 500 piece puzzle.

@TinkeringJohn 2 месяца назад

I put this one together in Jan '18. I asked my sister to get it for me for Christmas of 2017. I didn't use the grid method I usually do on a large puzzle on this one because it has so many different scenes in it to break it into smaller areas. I don't like sorting pieces but will group them in a pile where they will go. I like to do puzzles the way you are, by finding where they go on the poster, and placing them on the table. It didn't take as long to assemble as the 5000 piece Artistic Mickey I did recently. I had to check to see if my Bizarre town was 5000 pieces, which it is. I posted on Vicky's video before I saw this one. Glad you are having a great time on this one.

@fortheloveofpuzzles 2 месяца назад

This was so much fun to build and I can't wait for everyone to see the second video in the series - it comes all together so nicely! I think Artistic Mickey would be more difficult - at least for me - than Bizarre Town.

@dianeb7902 2 месяца назад

I'm so glad you don't separate all pieces that are connected. I don't, either 😊. I can't do anything over 1000 pieces, and I think 1000 pieces are challenging. Enjoy you're videos !

@fortheloveofpuzzles 2 месяца назад

Puzzle smarter, not harder is what I always say!

@clarkkent7973 2 месяца назад

I like to do shape sorting so I like to separate connected pieces. Otherwise, it messes up the search process.

@LazyPuzzlingLady 2 месяца назад

I tried this method with a 1500pc Jan van Haasteren puzzle which is generally just snow, sky, and people. I loved it. I put aside the sky and snow, and put on the board where the people would go. It gets exciting when you get to the part where you start putting pieces together. I'm building another JvH atm, but this one has more colors on it so I pick distinct colors together before building it. Different design, different approach. Love whichever way!

@TheBencer99 2 месяца назад

I’m doing this puzzle now too. I got my puzzle second hand and there is no poster in it. That adds to the challenge. I sorted edges and then a mix of sort by colour/ obvious pieces. I did solid yellow green and blue, houses, leaves etc. I’m using my dining table. If I have pieces I know go in a specific place I set them along the edge of the lid of the box and then I don’t have to go back and forth so much and know where the pieces go. I have a bunch of trays to sort with. I didn’t sort the whole puzzle but sort some, build the puzzle and then sort again.

@fortheloveofpuzzles 2 месяца назад

Oh no poster, that’s unfortunate as the detail on the box is so small. I hope you are enjoying it and sounds like you have a good sorting plan like Vicky. It’s so much fun all assembled and being able to see all the fun details. Keep me posted on your progress. 💜🧩

@puzzlepiece9509 2 месяца назад

I've done the pick a piece and place it with some jigsaws. I did that with the 500 piece Student Days which is quite busy. To start with it can be a bit haphazard but as more pieces go on the board it all starts pulling together. No doubt it will look great when it is finished. I'm currently battling with the Circle of Colors Rainbow Cake jigsaw. Look forward to the next instalment of Bizarre Town.

@fortheloveofpuzzles 2 месяца назад

Some of those Circle of Colors puzzle are really quite difficult. I did the Rainbow Cake as a pairs and it was tricky indeed! Student Days is a fun busy puzzle - not as busy as this one but still quite fun to do as a pick and place.

@heather6668 2 месяца назад

I love that you are placing the pieces as you find them. I would be interested in trying that but probably with a smaller puzzle. I usually try to do the border first and that gives me the work area but your tape does the same job. I have ordered this puzzle and look forward to doing it but not sure how I will tackle it yet. In the end, trying to work out on the poster where each piece goes still has to be done whether doing a full sort or placing as you go. Enjoyed the video immensely and understand the overwhelmed thing totally. I tip out a 5000 piece puzzle and think oh crap lol what have I done? I also watched Vicky's video and both methods have merit for this particular puzzle. Hope you enjoy doing the other half. Look forward to the next video.

I need to get a Colin Thompson puzzle! 💖 I finished my 1500 Springbok "Moonlit Village" a few days ago 😁 It took a few months, I think? Some days I might place 2 or 3 pieces and then walk away to avoid madness, lol. But it's so lovely and amazing quality! Lots of wonky donkey pieces. There was one missing piece, but that's not bad for a used puzzle from 2008 🤔 I loved the puzzle so much that I decided to keep it and do it again in a year or two.

@fortheloveofpuzzles 2 месяца назад

It is definitely best to use it on a busy image which is difficult to sort. Have you tried it on a 300 or 500 busy image? I just couldn't bring myself to sort this 5000 piece - I don't know how Vicky found the patience!

@MrFiddler1959 2 месяца назад

Hi Donnalouise! This was one of my favorite puzzles by far - it was the continual surprise of the little characters appearing I enjoyed. And the book titles!!! It was interesting to me that the parts that seem to come together first for both you and Vicky were the same for me - particularly the bathtub corner! I don't know that I would do the "pick a piece and place it method." Once a puzzle is in progress I will sometimes take a long time to examine the image for a single piece, but overall would feel too time-consuming to start that way. I'm about to start the Educa "Entering the Bedroom" so I might try that to see what I think. I do and don't like the initial sort... with a giant puzzle I tend to spread it out over several days so I don't rush into less helpfully organized piles.

@fortheloveofpuzzles 2 месяца назад

The book titles are so much fun! I don't mind sorting but always get a bit overwhelmed when it's just a large piece count puzzle. That bathtub area was very distinct and so perhaps easier to pick those pieces out. It also takes up a pretty good portion of the puzzle compared to the other sections.

@LordVash88 2 месяца назад

Hi, Donnalouise, I live in Poland and I am a puzzle enjoyer as well. I enjoy your videos and somehow I usually like to watch them before sleep - I'm not saying your videos are boring, they just have some calming and relaxing quality and they really help me to fall asleep. My question is not really for Vicky (I love her videos as well), but for you - any plans on going back to Educa 42000 puzzle? I know you had some image quality issues with it, but I plan to do it myself somewhere in the future and just the idea of leaving it unsolved in the middle is a little unmotivating. It must come from my personality - I love to observe things being completed or filled (I think that is why I love jigsaw puzzles so much) and I think I couldn't be able to get rid of the thought of the uncompleted puzzle. As for this puzzle - Your sorting method for this puzzle is very... interesting and original :D Being honest I love it - somehow it make this experience very satistying for me - again, it must be my personality quirk. You should count the steps you took, moving the pieces from poster to the table. I'm sure it was a nice workout. Much love from a polish fan

@fortheloveofpuzzles 2 месяца назад

Hi!! Thank you so much for your lovely comment. I love that you fall asleep while listening to my videos 😊 I hope I don’t disappoint you but I did one last video on the Educa puzzle - I took it all apart and sold it. It found a new home in Australia - I just wasn’t enjoying it at all. The video is the last one posted in the Around the World playlist. And I agree, I should have used a pedometer to count all my steps! I didn’t sit down once while going this puzzle. Love from Aotearoa New Zealand 💜🧩

Simple question, but does the diffused lighting help with reducing bright spots on the puzzle from the room lights? Had spot-lights in my old puzzle room and those reflected in my puzzles while I puzzled so I had bright spots on the puzzle which made the puzzling harder. Overall (a question for you both) in the absense of natural sunlight, how do you best, orbhow do you prefer to, light your puzzle area to avoid bright reflected spots on the puzzle while puzzling?

@fortheloveofpuzzles 2 месяца назад

Diffuse lighting helps HEAPS!! Without it, I get like a round spotlight effect on my puzzle which isn't good for filming. And the diffuse light works well on puzzle with a lot more glare and shine on the pieces. I now can't puzzle without my diffuse lighting. Natural light to me is too unpredictable and makes for bad filming and puzzling so I prefer to try and control my lighting.

LOL spoke too soon. Bizarre Town - I had sorted mostly and done the border (except for one piece I couldn't find), did the blue part with the pink/yellow border above the lake, did the top right corner and the red dresser, some of the left side brickwork, then did a piece count because I still hadn't found the edge piece - 5039, so I tipped back in box and counted again - 5039 - sat at dining table to sort to work and definitely didn't drop any, so I will definitely have to get a replacement from Amazon.

This is basically the Where's Waldo method where you look at a piece, and try to find where it goes. I would much rather do the "Clemens Habicht 5000 Colours Puzzle."
