Alright... here we go. Finally! My boyfriend and I finished the David Bowie Album Puzzle from the brand Aquarius. My boyfriend got me this for our anniversary and... this was so much fun to do... we really had a great time doing it together. It took us a long time and it frustrated u a little bit... but it was really a lot of fun and we had a great time doing this!
I think Aquarius makes puzzles that are meant for gluing and framing. From other puzzles I've seen from them that is sort of what I get from what I see. This wasn't like other puzzles I've ever done in the sense that there were really all the pieces were the same. 2 sides pointed in or curved in and 2 curved out. So if you like separating the pieces... it really doesn't help you while doing this puzzle at all.
The hardest parts to do were the edges and the text and lightning bolts at the bottom. The puzzles that were mostly solid black and white pieces we thought would be really hard... but they actually weren't all that bad! My boyfriend did most of heroes and The Man Who Sold The World and then we switched and I worked on them a bit... and it really wasn't that hard.
The first album we had just about completed was Low- which I worked on mostly. It was easy because that was the only album with orange... the only thing was that he had a jacket piece that was really hard to find for us.
Once you get going with the puzzles... you get more in tuned with the colors and which one is solid solid black and which one is from a jacket or has a little bit of something different on it. There's also a red border on the edges of each album... that really made things a little easier and it kind of made it more fun. Plus it's nice to look at so when I do frame it- it separates the albums better.
Overall I'm really happy we finished this- I had a lot of fun doing it. I don't know that Aquarius is the first brand I'd buy from again... but if I really loved the art and wanted it framed... I would totally go with an Aquarius puzzle for sure.
Also part of why I'm talking about this now: I think this is a fantastic gift! It's one of my favorite gifts I think I've ever gotten and... if you have a David Bowie fan in your life- this is the perfect gift! You can find it on his website- I'll link it right here.
I will probably post more info about some puzzles as... this is sort of my boyfriend and my new hobby since we don't really want to go out.
Bye!
