The Beautiful Pirate

The Beautiful Pirate is a 1000-piece puzzle from Magnolia, and the artist is Romi Lerda. This is my second puzzle with Romi’s artwork, and I just think it is so pretty.

This puzzle was definitely challenging though. Magnolia has a difficulty star rating on their boxes, and they marked this one as 3 out of 5. I would have rated it higher than that, so I don’t think I want to try any puzzles they think are even more difficult!

I just heard there are some new puzzles coming out with her artwork, so I will definitely be checking them out. I wouldn’t mind getting a few more of her older ones as well.

The Brunette

The Brunette is a 1000-piece puzzle from Magnolia, and the artist is Romi Lerda. This is another new brand for me. I have heard a lot of good things about Magnolia, and I was very pleased with the quality of this puzzle.

The image is captivating and I truly enjoyed putting it together. I loved all the different blocks of difference colors/textures. The dark blue was the hardest, which reminded me of Rainy Day Blessings, but it wasn’t as hard as that one because the area was smaller and there was more of a pattern.

The box was really nice. It didn’t come with a poster, but it did have a small packet of glue powder, which you could mix with water to make puzzle glue. Such a clever idea!
