Shortly after finishing ‘Florabundance’, I decided to break out this gorgeous 1000 piece by Master Pieces, ‘Peter Pan’ by Steve Crisp. I spent a smidge of time that Thursday evening sorting out the edge pieces and assembling them, before calling it a day for puzzling!
Look at all these NOT edge pieces…. and these were just some of them. I don’t mind irregular shaped pieces, but I can’t stand those that masquerade as edges! You can make irregular pieces without having those long flat sides, darnit!
Anyway, bright and early Friday morning, I set about sorting and assembling! And turns out, well… Peter Pan is a super easy puzzle.
In no time at all, I’d sorted out all the individual bits, and the Pan himself was together. You see, the image is stunning as a whole, but everything in it is very individual and distinct. Big chunks of the puzzle, and whole characters, came together in a flash!
Before I knew it, I was down to the last bits! I couldn’t believe how quickly it had come together!
It’s all around a lovely image, and it was a ton of fun to put together! This is one of those nice Master Pieces, with decently thick cardboard and lovely printing. Everything stays together quite well. And the puzzle dust was at a minimum as well! These fairy tale puzzles that come in the book shaped boxes are quite nice!
Though I still can’t believe I did an entire thousand piece puzzle in essentially a day. @_@

Is Master Pieces one of those brands where some puzzles are great and others not so much? I’ve never done one.

Well, I can’t say for certain. The two that I’ve done are out of print now, and produced a few years back at least. They’ve both been lovely to work, and nice quality. The most recent one I bought from them was extremely badly cut, to the point I requested a replacement (which arrived, but wasn’t the same puzzle?)… I’m hoping that perhaps the bad one I got was simply a fluke, and was missed in quality control, so I’m reserving judgment until I had a chance to look at the replacement, and maybe work a few more.

I wish the manufacturers were more consistent 🙂
