Ravensburger Jigsaw Puzzle

Ribbon cut

1000 pieces (from the manufacturer - "each piece has a unique shape")

Finished sized: 20" x 27"

Well, 4 months and several puzzles of various piece counts later, I am still far from being an experienced puzzler who finishes a 1000-piece puzzle in 8-10 hours! That will probably take a few years! But I adore the mind clearing calm I experience during every hour I spend on the puzzling process; getting lost in the activity, it’s a good thing!

I researched the puzzle manufacturers for quality, and built a stash including one (or more) from each highly rated brand. Puzzle Hobby was a super resource for that, and for a comprehensive fact and idea introduction to my new hobby. Hence, this Ravensburger puzzle.

Pluses — no puzzle dust, sturdy in small box, sturdy pieces - none missing, each “unique” piece can only fit in the right place, bright colors, and my favorite — a totally matte finish. Minuses - loose piece fit while working, (but tight when complete - go figure), no poster. I took a screenshot, blew it up and printed it. Does it live up to its reputation -a qualified yes. I have purchased 2 more.

Despite everything I said above, it was almost too easy. I finished it over 2 days, taking lots of breaks. I chock it up to the cartoon drawing style and limited number of colors. I sorted by color which, for this puzzle, basically meant it was sorted by object. I left the big Barbie for last, but it all came together with ease.

Did I have fun? Yes! Was I challenged? Not really. Do I have to be? Not necessarily. I give this an A+ for fun!
