This puzzle was … so hard. As it turns out, it was hard (in part) because it was a diptych — two sides of a puzzle — but they had printed the left side twice. So, one of the tricks of the puzzle is that the right-side puzzle mirrors the left-side puzzle in piece shape. But, because of the misprint, it was two left-sides prints, with a left and right side carving– one with the left-to-right puzzle shapes, and one with the right-to-left puzzle shapes. I thought I was going nuts …. And, there was a missing piece! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artifact was great, and sent me the (correct and right) half. I will admit that I was so broken by the experience that I had to set it aside for a while. So, this puzzle is and is NOT completed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I should also say that it’s one of the most beautiful puzzles I’ve done, with a lot of whimsies, and the puzzle design was extraordinary with a couple of fun twists. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
