Leftover Chinese’s ‘Fantastic’ Puzzle Experience

Published by e under Minutiae


The 1,500 piece masterpiece is titled “Fantastic” by the artists. I’m serious. Two horses passing through a bridge as they travel down a stone path…or are they running towards the stables at some fancy castle? Fan-tas-tic.

After three weeks of working on it, we’re one jigsaw short. Ugh.

(I’m convinced a cat stole a piece and is holding it ransom until I feed him a whole chicken but that’s a different post for a different blog. I’m not a crazy cat person. I swear.)

Though I possess some ability when it comes to mental puzzles, if you put me in front of an actual jigsaw puzzle it gets worse. I’m useless. Ms. B handled the bulk of this. I was able to piece together the horse faces and a some of the smaller horse’s body. The swirling colors and brush strokes made this one hell of a jumble. Each time I sat down to help out, I’d get frustrated after ten minutes and retire to SPM.

I do give credit to Ms. B for sticking to this until end. If I had worked on this myself, It would probably be in landfill right now. Instead it sits in my apartment begging for the final piece. Fan fucking tastic.

Worth the dollar spent at the dollar store? You betcha.
