      Also those flower got to be expensive as heck. And they ate not just there to be “fancy”. It actually adds to the puzzle and the finished look. It looks so nice. Although personally, the font looks really outdated and the color kinda doesnt match the pallete. Still this is such a beautiful piece of art.

    When you mentioned it being a luxury puzzle with that price tag, I thought for sure it would be a whatever puzzle with some over the top packaging and claims about the craftsmanship. But I was honestly blown away. The quality of the pieces, the beauty and artistry of the puzzle itself, it's actually challenging cause of the piece shapes and it's custom made for you.

      When you're paying that much for a puzzle you aren't paying so much for the materials (although those are very good as well), you're paying for the time it takes to make it, and the thousands of hours it takes to learn how to do that. I don't see myself ever buying a $2,000 puzzle, but can certainly appreciate what it takes to make one.

    Years ago, when I was at intermediate school, there was a 3D puzzle of a custom made wooden cube, when assembled. It was about 30-60 parts, I cannot remember now, but no one was able to put it together. It was a three day project for me, but I fully assembled it, by following wood grains. It was very satisfying, because even the teachers thought that pieces were missing, until I put it together. I'm not sure if anyone has done it since.

    Just phenomenal. All the editing shots are a puzzle of their own too. Amazing camera angles and all the attention you put into everything. Nice to see thick pieces. And the presentation was phenomenally put together as well. Very amazing, Karen. I originally found you being interested in making a vertical puzzle using my thick paint that rises off the surface in a painting, now wondering about seeing the 3D effect in a puzzle too, and to see what was out there. One challenge is that the paint shrinks and expands and any edge pieces don't fit together well when painted over, so am thinking the edges would have to be raw somehow and painting only in the middle of each piece, than dong the whole painting and cut it. A fine art painting with massive texture and sculpture on top would be just so cool though. I'm glad to have found your channel. It is quite a neat idea you've put together here. Code: flower.

    This is so great! i can't imagine how amazing it must be to do a custom puzzle. (edit after I watched the video)The flowers were such a nice addition.

    OMG Karen that is such a gorgeous custom puzzle. Congrats to you for this lovely gift. I love all the "flowers" attached to the pieces. Very creative touch.

    WOW, this is absolutely beautiful. I'm *so* glad that Par was willing to send you a custom puzzle, because I hadn't heard of them and now am obsessed! I agree with you, and hope that Justin continues to add the 3D flower elements! :)

    This is an absolutely gorgeous puzzle! I love the flowers and I love the aesthetic of this puzzle. I can only imagine how honored you feel to have a OOAK puzzle made just for you! I could feel your joy radiating through the video :)

    I love how the Flower(s) were incorporated. You can always tell when an artist takes his craft and makes something they enjoy. This is beautiful. The custom puzzle I'll always remember was one my high-school sweet heart made for me. He had a really important question for me and he made a puzzle out of it. I was only allowed to answer his question by giving him a single puzzle peice back...... it said "Will you go to prom with me? Yes No" Every word was broken up into multiple pieces except for the word "yes" was all on a single peice. Cheeky little boy, eh. 🥰

    This was an amazing puzzle. I haven't done anything close to this type of puzzle. The flower pieces are very clever. I don't know how you waited a month to open it!

    Wow what an amazing gift, and also what an amazing puzzle. I've never heard of this company but their craftsmanship looks next level! I love that they personalized it especially for you with your name in it, and the color pieces were so pretty in all those shades of pinks. The odd shapes of the puzzle pieces and the puzzle itself being not square looked really challenging. But when you pay that much for an experience you'd love for it to last for awhile. The pieces were so thick and the way it went together looked so satisfying. Thank you for sharing and thank you to Par Puzzles for sending such a great puzzle that we all got to be a part of experiencing.

    Years ago I made some puzzles for my nieces by gluing pages from children's books to thin plywood and band-sawing into large pieces. It's a lot of work so I can only imagine the time that goes into cutting a Par type puzzle.
    It was really satisfying watching you build the FLOWER/flamingo puzzle. Reverse schadenfreude:-) Thanks for sharing your experience.

    My brother used to make puzzles out of wood and I would paint them. It was fun and made children happy. Even personalized some. I do so love the flower with the bird puzzle you finished. I would still be working on it. That is if I started Dec. 1st 2020. Great work and anxious to see new work for 2021.

    I’m binge watching your videos, and just finished this one! The flower detail was incredible! My grandparents made my daughter a puzzle. My grandma was an incredible artist, so she painted the image, and my grandpa cut the pieces. It was such a special gift, and something that she will treasure forever! 🥰

    lovely flowers in that one. I have recently started to cut my own puzzles mostly as family gifts. Just starting out with it the first bunch were just 8x10 and run from 150-180 pieces. Cutting wood puzzles is not for the faint of heart.

    15:38 maybe you can't tell what it is because you've been working with small details and being so up close but I'm pretty sure it will end up to be the head of a flamingo

    At work, we have a few custom puzzles made out of work-related system diagrams as a fun thing to do, but also help people be acquainted with the diagrams. They include gradients to make it not too difficult. It's adds to the office atmosphere, like a flower.

  • @clarkkent7973

    I am still waiting for the puzzle that was "Designed by Karen." How does you puzzle merchandise not include any puzzles? Or how about an Amazon shop (like Mr. Puzzle)?

    Love watching your videos, I actually decided to do a 5000 piece puzzle because I had some time and worked a little to much on it and finished it in a month. About 70 hours spend on it.
