definitely more a re-imagining but got more of the main things down. The print is in hand and gorgeous. Very delicate.

That lokta paper is real delicate stuff. Like partway towards being tissue paper kinda delicate.

I feel like there's a joke about Josh and soft hands here but it's Thursday and I'm tired.

Worried about my wallet when I saw the email that there's a LOTR map...then saw the map and felt great relief. :) I appreciate the idea, but Tolkien maps at this point had better be pretty astounding. Putting Aman in the northeast corner...?

Dat Super-package seems really emphasized.

In other news, the USPS is really drymounted. My Jaws tracking has been stuck on "in transit, arriving late" since the 26th :roll: . I have something coming that has made it from China to Chicago in the same period of time. I'm curious to see if the US leg takes longer now.

The variant was bigger. :lol: (Kidding)

Yea it’s all over the place. It’s not all states though. I’ve noticed it’s a lot of Colorado, Maryland and California.

Apple head! Why are you not responding to me messages. You said my fully paid for poster was being mailed and you would give me a tracking number! Why have you done so. Please send poster and provide tracking number like you said you would.

i don't get the appeal of puzzles.

must suck for people who are desperate for these. not like you could buy any other puzzle to occupy yourself in the meantime.
ha. must suck to have to let people know how you feel about other people buying puzzles. i love the image and am gifting it to my godson eventually. hate away
Last puzzle I did before covid-19 was in 2009. And before that the Emek MARsians a couple years before that. I still have this pieced together and it has been stored flat since it was put topgether. Always thought of framing it but never got around to it.

Since Covid-19, I have bought a lot of puzzles and regret not buying a few extras like the ones James Eads made (some of his print selections for puzzles are very impressive. Check them out if you haven't seen them).

It's great tv/device free bonding time and we are currently doing the Garcia King of Hearts puzzle. Next up is Munk One's PJ Pittsburgh art puzzle. I figure by the time we are done these 2, our Bottleneck order will be here, which by the way is the largest puzzle (16"x32", that we've done, so we bought a puzzle board so that we can move it from room to room and protect it from our 2 year old). My wife never did a 500-1000+ piece puzzle but once she started, she instantly liked it and we spend 1-2 hours/night (when we can, so 2-3 nights/week) working on the puzzle and discussing life, vacations, news, politics, our daughter etc.

Buy a puzzle, any puzzle and try it out. I'd recommend the jerrygarcia.com King of Hearts puzzle. It's 500 pieces and not super difficult.
