Siegfried@lemmy.world 5 months agoMy covid project was a 5000 pieces puzzle of the capilla sixtina. The first two pieces was God’s finger touching its creation… but that was pure luck. Anyway, I couldn’t get the borders till the very end.
Side note for the entusiast, a 5000 pieces puzzle means that a ~16 m2 room will be unusable for 6 to 18 months. It’s a pretty fulfilling journey

You mean Delacroix’s liberty leading the people? I envy you, that’s a hell of a masterpiece for a puzzle. I glued my capella sistina to an MDF plate and hanged it on the wall and it really stills all the views.
My advice, wait till the right moment comes…it can get terribly frustrating at times and it’s a pretty long work. Make sure to have a big plain surface to work, keep rumba under strict control and start with the boob pop’n out, so you know what are you fighting for.

This year, to save you from tears, you’ll give it to someone special?

Is there some special type of 5000 piece enthusiast puzzle I haven’t heard of? A regular 5000 piece puzzle should take up one large table with a little spillover depending on style and like 50 hours of total work, so easily a month tops. I can’t imagine anyone taking 18 months.
