    This would be a great (albeit very challenging) puzzle for people with low or no vision - surface texture, unique pieces, and highly reflective (which some blind people who have some light perception might really enjoy). There really aren't many jigsaw puzzles around where it doesn't matter if you can't see colours or details.

    Tip I've learned from doing vintage springbok puzzles. Use a rolling pin on the final puzzle to flatten the puzzle makes for a flat final surface and better photos.

    I really like how she is embracing who she is as a person. Her personality traits her characteristics, her passion for doing puzzles and she is not ashamed at all. She is owning it, who she really is. I haven't watched all of her videos. But this puzzle looked so hard. I would have been complaining during the process of putting it together how hard it is. But she just accepts that it was hard and some take way longer then others. She sounded so positive when she was talking about this puzzle she almost pursuaded me to get the exact same one and give it a try. She makes doing puzzles look so easy.

    My kid has “3D” holo Star Wars puzzles - the one with darth Vader is mostly black on black and despite being only 150 pieces took me longer than most 1000 puzzles. Brutal

    I finished this puzzle on the same day you did (per Instagram) but I had been working on it for about 10 days, mostly an hour or two at a time until the last day when I powered through. I too sorted the pieces according to shape and worked from the bottom up, but I also sub-sorted the pieces according to the orientation of the pattern on them. In one direction, the holographic hexagon edges are parallel, and if you turn it 90 degrees, the edges form zig-zags instead, so if I was looking for one of the standard puzzle piece shapes, I knew I only had to look at the pieces where the pattern was oriented correctly. I used trays that let me easily rotate all the candidate pieces to face the direction I was needing. I think my puzzle has been done and taken apart a few times because the plastic holographic layer is lifting from the edges a little, so it’s not as neat as this one. I took a picture of the back, flipped it, and printed it out to put in the box for the next person in case they need a hint. :D

    in these kind of cut, I find that the very weird piece usually are a normal piece cut in 2. so I tend to assemble the weird ones together to make the normal piece first.

    Springbok is wild. You know a puzzle is hard when it is normal shaped and you just move on from completing the edge pieces because of how long it takes. I loved how HOLOGRAPHIC it was too! Great as always, Karen!

    There is nothing abt this holographic puzzle that looks fun. I give you so much credit Karen when you do these puzzles. They feel more like work than enjoyment to me. So no I would not be doing this puzzle! LOL I enjoy my bright graphic puzzles, defined shapes, etc. I just did a Ravensburger puzzle with beach chairs and umbrella. Those were fun to put together. The sky resorted to piece shapes. That's why I'm not a fan of the same piece puzzles, just in case I need to rely on the shape. Nice job! Really impressive that you finished in such a short period of time. And no complaints of migraines or seizures!!! win/win!

    Awww I love Karen’s can-do attitude!! I had to take a break from a 3000-piece puzzle Karen inspired me to start, but this video made me want to get back to it & finish it up.
    Karen, can I ask how long you keep puzzles in-tact before deconstructing them? Specifically puzzles that caused you a bit of a headache in the process? Do you keep them up for longer, or do you never want to look at them again? 😂

    It would be fun if you "measured" the difficulty of every puzzle on a pieces-placed-per-minute basis. I.e. at the end of each puzzle, divide your total puzzling time by the number of pieces! That way we can get a sense of how hard you find each new puzzle compared to other ones you've done before!

    I'm a 70 year old lady. I have never had much of an interest in puzzles, I've tried once or twice with no success. Since I have been watching your channel, your helpful information has been very interesting and encouraging. I tried doing some on my tablet which I enjoyed.
    Today I bought my first "real " puzzle (500 pieces) and a piece of foam board. I'm going to try it, using the hints and suggestions that you have on your videos. I didn't know there was a method to the madness!
    We'll see how it goes! ❤🌻🌟💛🌟🌻❤

    @p.poirot4643 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Another tip that I find very useful when I am doing a color block or difficult puzzle ( havent donde any Holographic yet) is to change “perspective”. what I do when I feel stock is I move across the table and look at the puzzle upside down! it does help. Maybe karen 1.does not need thay tip and 2. She has camara setup facing only ine way.
    Another thing is if I find two pieces thay go together but not on the puzzle yet (may be like an ocean print) I build up around those pieces, like a mini puzzle within the puzzle…this is soooooo helpful you would end up with a huge piece or many easily to find where it goes. :)

    I recently found your TH-cam channel in my recommendations because I love doing jigsaw puzzles myself, I glue mine down on poster boards and hang them up on my walls. It’s so satisfying to watch you press in each piece with that up close view. My largest puzzle I’ve done so far is 3,000 pieces and it’s the Ravensburger Oceanic Wonders puzzle. I usually only buy puzzles that are 500 pieces or more and only ones that have like dolphins, whales, etc or Pokémon ones.

  • @analuisa1214
    @analuisa1214 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Omg, that could possibly be the hardest puzzle I've ever seen!! But it also is so pretty, I think I would be distracted by the holographic colors, they are such a beautiful visual stim! I think it would take me about 20 hours because I actually have the eye-thing, if I force it to much it will start to randomly shake and that's when I know I've been puzzling for too long 😂

    A puzzle buddy of mine found this last week for under $3 thrifting (tried hard not to be jealous) and I referred her to this video. She's lucky that her copy was disassembled in sections so if she wants to sell it, she'll have an easier time assembling it to verify the piece count...
    But I just found my own copy today for 79 cents!!! 😮😮😮 Mine is NOT mostly preassembled and the box is In TERRIBLE shape, but it has the original marketing inside and the pieces look to be in wonderful condition. I can't believe that we found 2 copies in Vegas thrift stores in such a short time.
    Her copy also had a glued together mini solid green circle puzzle inside of the box AND she found the hexagon Puzzler II the SAME trip.
    I'm totally screenshotting the final result from this video to use it as a cheat since I suspect the piece cut is the same...if not...well...wish me even more luck!

    Beautiful puzzle. As commented quite a while ago, you inspired me to get back into puzzling. I love your channel 😄

    After completing such an ornery puzzle like your holographic puzzle, do you ever “decompress” by following that up with putting together an ordinary thousand piece jigsaw puzzle of a plain scene like an English garden?

      I actually do like to take some time off afterwards by working on an easy puzzle instead 😂

    I would really like a video about your most difficult puzzles in a ranking😊 It would be very interesting to see your perspective on it and how you determine the difficulty of each puzzle.

    Every time I do a springbok puzzle I spend so much time swearing that they are missing pieces. I love them though and they are definitely SOOOO satisfying

    My daughter has a 100 piece holographic panda bear puzzle from National Geographic that a friend of mine picked up at a thrift store. It's neat and not too difficult but also kind of annoying and headachy to me. I would probably loathe this one lol. But I would love to see you do the gold one and any more you might find in the series! That sounds like fun to watch!

      I tried to search for this series all over the internet and the gold is #2, but I can't find any more after that. Odd. I guess Springbok gave up? Or I'm missing something lol.

    I don’t know if I would have been able to get the edge 🤷🏼‍♀️ you’re definitely a trooper. I would have given up
