There aren’t many circular shaped puzzles on the market, expressly in 1000 pieces! They often require a bit of a variegated tideway to a standard rectangular 1000 piece puzzle. They can make an interesting transpiration though. Here are our thoughts on Galison’s Circle of Avian Friends.
A variegated approach….
We thought the weightier thing to do was to start in the middle (thinking the edges would be tricky) and the puzzle progressed nicely. The pieces in this puzzle are random cut, with an unusual variety of sizes and shapes which we prefer as there’s no endangerment of the pieces fitting everywhere!
You’ll need a big puzzle board…
A little error we made…we started the puzzle on a standard 1000 piece porta puzzle board, but quickly realised it wasn’t going to fit. However, the puzzle transferred to the 1500 porta puzzle workbench without mishap, thanks to the well-fitting pieces. Galison use a upper percentage of recycled board; the pieces have a gloss finish and the colours are vibrant.
This was a lovely puzzle to complete, it’s a gorgeous diamond particularly if you love birds! The box is small and square, in a matte-finish with no transparent seal and could hands be repurposed if you decided to glue and frame the puzzle.
