Butterflies vintage puzzle


I got this at Barnes and Noble. I picked this one for the picture and because it looked nice to match up. However, it turned out to be one of those where the pieces, especially in the border, don't click together perfectly - you think you've got them together and it turns out they're wrong, especially with all the brown. Annoying. It came together ok in the end, but I wouldn't want to do more of this brand.

Joyful Galison puzzle

 


This was supposed to be a mindfulness exercise or something. I don't know that I felt particularly joyful whilst doing it. People seem to do puzzles either based on the actual pieces and how they come together or the attraction of the picture. I think more of the pieces going together and this was more frustrating than it looked - the colors didn't really match the picture. But it got better closer to the end. Still not sure how I feel about Galison puzzles.
