Ravensburger Colin Thompson The Gardener's Cupboard Puzzle (1000-piece) [19498]

You can’t beat Colin Thompson for a jigsaw design! His highly detailed and imaginative illustrations take you and your imagination into his metaworlds (world within world); amusing and enchanting. Although a 1,000 pieces, each piece is distinctive and so you don’t have vast expanses of one colour. He has put in a few tricks so you think you know where a piece goes but then a tiny detail shows it to belong elsewhere but that just keeps you alert!For those familiar with his illustrations/other jigsaw designs there are some common figures which gives a warm feeling of ‘being in the know’!Can’t get enough of them!!!

Well over a year ago I bought the Colin Thompson adult colouring book, as someone who has coloured from childhood this book gave me hours of pleasure. My husbands birthday was in September and as he loves a good puzzle I bought him my favourite picture from the book in puzzle form.To say he enjoyed the challenge is an understatement, nothing in a long while has kept him so engrossed, now it’s finished and waiting to be framed for my birthday.

I did one of his puzzles recently and this is my second purchase. The artwork is just as detailed and whimsical, but there are photos within the painting, which did put me off a bit to begin with. But I'm still really enjoying doing the puzzle, the picture is lovely and the quality of the jigsaw is really excellent. Life's too short to do poor quality jigsaws, I reckon!

This kept me entertained all the way through. Lots of interesting stuff going on, challenging to the end, never boring. A perfect jigsaw puzzle and the best Colin Thompson I have done so far (of three)

I love all Colin Thompson puzzles, the drawings are so intricate and full of quirky figures and objects and visual jokes. This new one doesn't disappoint. I presents quite a challenge without being too frustratingly impossible. The quality is excellent too as expected fron Ravensburger.
