We wrapped up the latest from So Puzzled Puzzle Company – 2 Dandelions Bookshop – last night. It was probably about four hours of total work from start to finish.
As I said in the next up post, it was great to work with our local indie bookstore on this one. 2 Dandelions Bookshop has been a supporter of So Puzzled from the start and it was really cool to be able to work with them on a unique way to celebrate Independent Bookstore Day.
We started this one with the edges, as per usual, and then I moved on to the clouds while Jenny did the sidewalk. I expected the clouds to be difficult but they were a little tougher than I thought they’d be as the white lines of the clouds are so faint it’s hard to get a feel for the patterns right away. It’d probably have been significantly more difficult in a 1000-piece edition.
With the clouds done, I moved on to the tree and the tops of the buildings while Jenny did the bench and the store sign on the grey building. We had decided we’d each do one of the signs, so I moved on to the brick building from there while Jenny continued on to more of the grey building.
The books in each window ended up being a little easier than I expected. The grey building’s books are depicted in more muted colors so we were mostly able to split them up appropriately and go from there.
We wrapped things up with the upper portions of the grey building.
Our soundtrack for this one was intended to be our usual classic rock mix via YouTube Music but the algorithm went a little off the rails and started adding in a lot of stuff we don’t normally hear.
This puzzle is currently available at 2 Dandelions Bookshop in Brighton, Michigan, and will be available at the So Puzzled Puzzle Company website soon.
