Thank you to everyone for your continued support as I solve all of my fun little puzzles 🥰 Make sure to head over to patreon.com/karenpuzzles to see an exclusive video of me solving the Zodiac puzzle!
Good morning Mrs Karen puzzle.
Does patreon content have close captions for the hearing impaired? Also, I'm not familiar with how patreon content works (beside the membership level fee). Do have to download anything or have a specific type/version on some software? I'm interested but need more info. I would love to try solve that Octagon puzzle if in was in 300 piece count.
Octagon: I appreciate the time it took to shoot and edit this video. Kudos to you!
@@jmason1770 you can have access to the videos online on the patreon website or with the app, which I find more user friendly! You pay the monthly fee and it's done :)
@@joaniemeow Are English closed captions available? Is it easy to contact and get a response from Patreon customer services? Thank you.
One thing Karen does is educate me on the history and collectbility of puzzles. I had no idea there was niche for that. Cool.
Truly there is nothing more pleasant to me than watching someone geek out about their niche hobby. It reminds me how diverse we all are in our interests and is delightful
Why not? Art is collectible so why not puzzles. Especially rare puzzle that you can play with and solve.
right
What an incredible find! It is amazing how shiny and bright the pieces of this octagon puzzle still are after 50 years!
That final montage stop motion was amazing. It must have taken forever to edit, but it looked cool as heck.
And how amazing was the artist Claudia Carrel. I'm very glad you did a spotlight on her career and shared some of her other amazing art works with us.
It’s amazing how clean, bright and glossy it still is after all this time. So pleased for you that all the pieces were there.
This octagon puzzle was like a mandala, I felt so calm just watching it all go together.
I hope you don’t find this too morbid, but I genuinely hope that one day someone is as excited to find this octagon puzzle in your collection as you were.
I always tell my family that when I die, they better give all my stuff to people who can actually use it, or really want it. I find it so stupid to hold onto things your loved ones had when they are things you don't like and will never use, just because they were THEIRS. Give it to someone who would be stoked to have it! (I also pick up tons of old books at thrift shops, and I love all the handwritten notes in the margins from previous owners. Not novels, but recipe books and such. I always just hope that if there is an afterlife, they'll be happy to know that someone else was excited to put those things to use!)
When I put together a vintage or pre-owned puzzle I don’t get too upset if a piece or two is missing. But I hate having a piece missing from a new puzzle!
The same day you posted the video about bidding on and picking up this puzzle, I found it at a thrift store! I finished mine this week and I was so excited that it had all the pieces! I loved watching your solve because we had different approaches. You worked mostly from the center out, and I went mostly outside in. I sorted way more at the beginning, but it didn't end up being that helpful. By the way, beautiful timing of the music with the placement of the last piece - I got emotional! Also, octagon. :)
It's actually a fun challenge to buy vintage puzzles and see if there are missing pieces!
This design of puzzle isn't really what I look for when I go puzzle shopping, but it's VERY difficult not to get excited when Karen gets excited for a octagon puzzle!
I would love to know if any of this person's (estate) family sees this video and realizes how much passion is involved in even one piece of their relative's collection. Thank You Karen for making such a beautiful video with the history and passion you have to share with us. LOVE this octogon puzzle!!!
I truly hope they do get to see how much it meant to a complete stranger, especially since their loved one clearly took very good care of this puzzle ❤️
Love that you chose to use a slowed down version of the usual music to enhance the fact that you were taking your time to enjoy this puzzle. It was very relaxing and made me smile.
I don't know why, but watching you smooth your hands over the puzzle at the end is extra satisfying lol
The puzzle is beautiful. Glad no pieces are missing.
This puzzle looks so modern, the colour palette is gorgeous
I'm so happy that all the pieces are there. I love this OCTAGON puzzle.
i can't believe what you did with that title. I was expecting such a different video than what it turned out to be. Great job keeping us hooked until the end looking for that missing piece.
By the way, that animation of the puzzle tearing down and rebuilding followed by the octagon lid coming on top to complete the sequence, well done! It's little touches like that really add to the spice of the video.
Amazing that this octagon puzzle is complete and in such fabulous condition. You can really see how good the piece quality is from the close up shots. I’d love to try a springbok puzzle, but haven’t come across any in the uk yet😢❤
I am like the worst backseat puzzler. XD I am watching this like "Those 2 pieces need to go there, Karen look, look at those 2 pieces, over there, yes that nerdy puzzle site is actually really cool and I love to hear about it but first look at those 2 pieces, they go right over there in that perfect gap."
Sometimes I wait to put in certain pieces so I can get those satisfying closeup shots!
@@KarenPuzzles That makes a lot of sense, didn't think of that. I have to say, it was extra satisfying to see those 2 pieces I was eyeing go in at the close up.
The gaps and overlaps of colors look like they could also be from the registration being slightly off when printing the puzzle itself, which could also give some insight into the making of it!
Oh I didn't even think of that! That may be the case instead.
I'm happy to know I'm not the only one who likes to run my hands over a completed puzzle.
Someone in my puzzle group on Facebook just posted a vintage Springbok octagon puzzle of baskets of fruit. I was very intrigued, then saw this video and became moreso. I want an octagon puzzle so bad now lol.
that inspirational music at the end during that final stretch had me on the edge of my seat! i’m so happy for you, it’s always such a gratifying moment to find that holy grail in your collection, especially in such beautiful condition!
Hearing the codeword of octagon made me imagine for a moment what it would be like if all STOP signs looked like that puzzle, LOL. I'm so glad all of the pieces are there! It's such a vibrant, fun looking puzzle.
I think we'd have a lot more car accidents lol
Karen: “this puzzle came out in 1970”
Me: “so did my mum” 😂
And it’s her birthday on Monday. Happy 52nd birthday mum ☺️
As someone who only joined the channel recently, I would love to see a summary of your 5 star puzzles at the end of the year!
I'm definitely planning to do that, but I also revealed them all in my video from a few weeks ago about burnout.
That Prismatic octagon puzzle is just gorgeous. I love how the overlapping colors give the illusion of depth and transparency. It looks harder than you made it out to be, but I would definitely like to try it.
Your close up photography of placing the pieces is so beautifully done! You can literally feel your enjoyment through the screen with each gentle placement! Kudos to your puzzling and your attention to photographic detail! 👍 Octagon
I found spectacle island rose at my local thrift store for only $2! I’m hoping it has all the pieces!❤ that mini puzzle is so cute too!
I loved the editing in the final montage of this. It really feels like you are celebrating the puzzle. This entire video and the happiness you radiate just put me in such a good mood.
The way you filmed and edited this was really beautiful. So cool to hear about the history and your adventure in acquiring it! I’ve never done an octagon-shaped puzzle before and it was super interesting to see all of the interesting shapes of the pieces fit together.
Thanks Lauren!
Octagon! How wonderful that there were no missing pieces! 😆and I agree with you that the lady who owned the puzzles was very careful with them - Thank you, Puzzle Lady, whoever you are! 😊
I couldn’t comment on the previous video but I thought it was awesome! The Estate Sale was a revelation.
The pieces have such a beautiful glossy finish, maybe a bit tricky when solving, but great to look at. And the cardboard looks delightful, thick and sturdy.
I love this puzzle! The colours are so bright and fun and I totally agree with you, it looks so modern even if it was made 50 years ago! I thought the same thing when you spoke about the artist' show in the 1960s for her pop-art work, the fashion must have been crazy and I would have loved to see what the whole event looked like! I'm looking forward to the sorts for the butterfly puzzle, another pretty one!
Who knew that there were so many puzzles in the shape of an octagon? I’m glad that it had all the pieces. I loved the shots where you got as close to flush with the table as you could. It was a cool angle!
I love the end with the circular deconstruction-and rebuild! It’s gorgeous😻
It might be nerdy to watch you channel but I'm learning so much from you about puzzles and the whole hobby, it's incredible. I'm a casual puzzler and I'm living the dream viciously through your videos 😂
creative, I as a puzzle maker, always admire every time you make a new video
My five-year-old son wanted to let you know that he thinks you do a very good job on these puzzles. He loves your videos!
Fun puzzle to watch being solved as well as the added mini drama of it being intact.
Amazing art! Solving this kind of old, beautiful puzzle would be so much fun... I like to paint, and just this week i saw this octagon shaped canvas in a store... this is giving me ideas
I loved watching this video, so satisfying with all the different clips showing of the puzzle and puzzling ❤ And the “do you now…” parts made it feel like a lazy Sunday afternoon just puzzling away with a friend and talking about the best thing ever -puzzles 🥰
Springbok puzzles are from a different league. So beautiful 😍.
Also loved the new angle you used to film. 🥰
I for one found the rabbit hole fascinating, and I don't really do puzzles. I watch.
How you figure things out and finish it relatively fast, is amazing. If I had the chance, I probably do this one for whole week 😅 I like the cutting of this puzzle pieces, very challenging and definitely not boring.
This octagon puzzle is exactly my style! I love any repetitive pattern full of color! As always, I appreciate you sharing your time and talents with us! My last two vintage Springboks each had one missing piece so I was super anxious in hopes that yours was complete!
This artwork would make such a cool octagon tablecloth, quilt, or bedspread!
Oh my gosh, this puzzle is from Enfield, CT! I grew up in Somers, CT which is literally the next town over.
I think it was a good decision to change the thumbnail 👌🏻
I really like your nerdy side and I enjoy to learn about this stuff!
Awesome 👏 Thank you for taking us on your quest
We love watching the puzzles you do from your vintage collection. Octagon
I LOVE how wild these puzzle cuts are!
I love watching you do puzzlez!!!
I'm so excited to see some fun puzzle transitions near the end. I was watching some of your videos from years ago and I thought that was so magical.
Im so happy your puzzle was complete! After all you went through to get it. Its a really beautiful puzzle too.
What a beautiful octagon puzzle! 😊 Thanks for letting us watch you put it together. ❤
After the previous video, I’m excited to see the Vintage Puzzles you have in store.
Beautiful Octagon puzzle! Loved how you shared the history and even the puzzle cuts too. Old is gold!
Wow this is an exceptional puzzle!!! Amazing find! Keep slaying those puzzles queen!
Wonderful filming on such a beautiful puzzle!
The time lapse of you taking apart the OCTAGON was great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is probably my favorite video of yours that i've watched so far :D your excitement for the puzzle is contagious, and it was nice to see you go at a relaxed pace and have fun with it!
I love watching you put together this octagon puzzle! The colors and pattern are so cheerful and I’m really impressed at how good a condition the puzzle is in considering its age. It was so interesting to learn a bit more about the artist behind the original painting too!
Octagon. I watched from Queensland Australia. Thank you for inspiring me to puzzle again. I work in a high stress environment so my puzzling is my down time. Thank you Karen
This looks like a fun puzzle. So glad you captured this Octagon treasure. (A little shaken when you said it was 50 years old, but yeah. math.)
Thanks for teaching me so much about puzzles. Love the education about this niche, and enjoyed the music and editing in this video a lot, too! Especially the spiral disassemble/reassemble cut. Great job!
I wouldn’t make this puzzle because it will try to twist my eyes all the time. You have the fun and let me have the enjoyment of seeing you puzzling that one. Happy weekend!
Such a beautiful puzzle to see put together, same for the one you posted on your patreon which I just signed up for a couple days ago, I’m happy you are having fun with these vintage puzzles!
So happy for you all pieces there and in such good condition
This puzzle assembling is so satisfying to watch! I love the red back, the colorful painting and the funky octagon shape. Great find, Karen!
Bright, beautiful puzzle! Perfect music choices too. Really enjoyed this.
Omg! 🎉 I was so happy to see those last pieces go in!!
(octagon!) I don't even puzzle much but this got me mega emotional lol. I'm so glad it came to you pls never sell this puzzle, you look so happy 💓
Hi Karen! This is definitely a puzzle I want to do! It’s beautiful, and I totally agree with what you said about it having the small human imperfections that you just don’t see anymore. Love it!
See you on patreon queen!!! loved this prismatic and cant wait to see the zodiac OCTAGON!!!
It’s a gorgeous puzzle, really bright and I love the OCTAGON shape! I was on the edge of my seat when you got down to the last dozen pieces!
So happy for you! I was holding my breath until the last piece was put in place!! Great finds. Looking forward to see the other ones solved. Love the octagon!
Omg! Those shapes 😍 I’m in love with all the pieces hehe
I'm so excited to watch this
Octagon! This was a great find! Nice puzzling, Karen!!
That octagon puzzle is amazing. So glad you own it now, and I'm sure the previous owner would be proud!
It seems so much fun to do it, i loooooved it so much ❤ congrats on this rare find!!
Great video and amazing OCTAGON puzzle, love the artwork on this one. This video along with the other full estate sale one have been a super fun journey to watch Karen, great stuff 🙂
This is a beautiful octagon puzzle!! The design and the colors are amazing 🤩
Thank you for being the honest person we know you to be at that Estate sale. I loved watching this assembly.
I luv all the different shapes and sizes of the pieces ❤😊
Just perfect puzzling. Gorgeous graphics and the music in the edit is very soothing. Fantastic octagon!
I wish I had this Octagon puzzle! So beautiful! ❤
I really enjoy this kind of design because it plays tricks on my eyes but not in the way where my eyes hurt. I also love the colors.
This Octagon Puzzle was fascinating. I had the sense when you opened the box and there were still sections put together that the first person to work it, worked it only once and lovingly put it away. The quality of the pieces and the lack of wear on the pieces seem to confirm my sense. As a child in the 1960s, I used to do many Springbok circular puzzles -- but I did them many, many times and the pieces showed it.
That is a gorgeous puzzle!
Such a pretty puzzle! I want to do it now!
Hey Karen! I used to love your DIY videos. Have you ever thought about doing a DIY video on here with ideas to fix up/reinforce an old or ripped puzzle box, or even make one of your own? Would love to see it! Keep puzzling!
What a beautiful puzzle. It's even more beautiful than the picture on the box.
To separate myself from nerds watching people do puzzles on UA-cam, I only watch you. Your personality, your editing and how you love your puzzles is so enjoyable to watch.
4:33 Oh, that is devious. I would have spent a long time going through those pieces looking for the corner pieces!
Very cool video and the editing was top notch. Very good use of the music and the breaks as you did the puzzle with the trivia was a very nice touch. Well done and I look forward to future videos.
This puzzle is so beautiful!! A lovely octagon 😉
It's amazing that you love so much puzzling to search it so much. I never seen that before.
