About my ratings

Perhaps because of my day job, I'm a tough rater. Everything 3/5 and above I consider worth the time and money. If I purchase on Etsy or a similar platform and the puzzle is as expected, I will give a top rating on the platform because of how seller ratings work, but here "as expected" is probably a 3/5 in most cases.

Arabic Mosaic, St. Petersburg

Wentworth, 1000 pieces.  Low color variation (including pools of similar color scattered throughout the puzzle) makes this one not for the faint of heart, but it was doable with careful attention to piece shape and minor color variations.  1000 pieces is a lot of Wentworth--I think 750 might be the ideal balance of challenge and doability.  3/5

    impossible for me, ever .it is beautiful ! i tell other puzzlers about this site . i would rather see the stages of completion here than do these puzzles myself. the puzzles that i do over and over are two from puzzle monk and a 500 piece from wentworth "the cricket match" which divides nicely into 4 quarters. each a beautifully composed picture that i join together to make the competed puzzle . it is much more enjoyble for me than starting the puzzle anew each time . thanks for a very entertaining site !

    I know! I've been too busy with work for puzzling. I have a stack I would like to get to soon, but realistically it will probably be March at the soonest.
