Peacock Garden by Monika Forsberg – eeBoo – 1008 pieces

Another new company 🙂 I don’t remember where I heard of them, but when I saw their 1000+ piece puzzles I really wanted to get one to try. I wasn’t disappointed!

I love the artwork for this puzzle and it was super fun to assemble. Mom and I worked on it together and had a great time! I loved being able to pull all the pieces for one small section and assemble them without having to look at the box or poster. Just a fun, entertaining puzzle all around if you ask me.

The pieces fit together wonderfully and were extremely sturdy. The image reproduction is gorgeous and the colors are bright and beautiful. All the things I love! The only drawback for me was that the finish on the pieces was shiny and there was a lot of glare under lights. Other than that I had no problems/issues with this puzzle at all. I would definitely recommend eeBoo puzzles!

They have a really cool zodiac puzzle that I would love to do. (hint hint for those of you who know me and are looking for a gift idea 😉 )

Not too shabby! One gargoyle done, completed a lot more of the stairs, and filled in some holes where I could. Still have plenty of banister left to go on both sides and a whole other gargoyle.

Just over 1000 pieces left now, so it should be speeding up soon – I hope, I hope! There’s still lots of pink left to go for the floor and walls, but it shouldn’t be too difficult. I plan to get all remaining pieces laid out on trays so I’ll be able to find any piece I’m looking for. That may slow me down a bit at first, but it’ll be worth it. 🙂

If I get everything laid out on trays I may start tomorrow filling in the rest of the right side which will help immensely when I start on the left – I’ll always know what piece shape I’m looking for! Or I may try to at least get the other gargoyle assembled first. As usual it will depend on how my “interesting” brain is functioning at the time. Who knows? I certainly don’t!
