pieces).
October 11, 2008
Stephanie Corson - Lakeland, Florida, USA.
Assembled between May 10 and October 11, 2008
My name is Stephanie Corson, I'm from Lakeland, Florida.
I just
recently completed the 24,000 piece Life puzzle, as well as its
3,000 piece counterpart. While it was at times frustrating, and
it kind of took over my apartment for several months, it was
probably the most amazing and fun thing I've done in a while. The
sense of accomplishment I felt when I finally put got the entire
thing finished -- and realized I hadn't lost any pieces! -- was
out of this world.
I kept a 'journal' of my progress on these puzzles that can be
found HERE.
(Comment from Webmaster: Stephanie had an interesting method of
aiding quicker assembly - read about it in her blog at the link
above).
All told, I worked on the large puzzle over the course
of 4 months: 31 actual days of working on weekends, a total of
186 hours. The small puzzle took 2 days and about 15 hours to
complete.
Thank you for producing this monster of a puzzle. All my friends
and family think I am completely crazy for having done this, but
I think they're probably just jealous.
~Stephanie
