Keeping To A Coloured Theme,

this is for jig-saw lovers,

 it is a puzzle made up of 1,000-pieces, 

 consisting of the CMYK Color Gamut in a Jigsaw Puzzle, 

 by Clemens Habicht, each tile is an individual colour and the task is to place each colour exactly in relation to every other colour, "The idea came from enjoying the subtle differences in the blue of a sky in a particularly brutal jigsaw puzzle, I found that without the presence of image detail to help locate a piece I was relying only on an intuitive sense of colour, and this was much more satisfying to do than the areas with image details, what is strange is that unlike ordinary puzzles where you are in effect redrawing a specific picture from a reference you have a sense of where every piece belongs compared to every other piece. There is a real logic in the doing that is weirdly soothing, therapeutic, it must be the German coming out in me. As each piece clicks perfectly into place, just so, it's a little win, like a little pat on the back."   

 and this is how it arrives,

and this is how you finish it,

 and now there are three more puzzles to chose from,

the first is 1000 VIBRATING COLOURS,  

which places a secondary complimentary colour gamut over the first in a polka dot figure/ground relationship, 

 the op-art like result is a kinetic visual effect,

 in which the dots vibrate and float as our perception of colour is disoriented, 

 the second new puzzle is HALF TONE COLOURS,

it is an exact reproduction of the original 1000 COLOURS, 

 in which the halftone screen of commercial four colour printing is greatly enlarged to become visible, 

 each tile becomes an abstraction of dots of various sizes in cyan, magenta, yellow and black to create composite colours,

  the dot pattern frequencies and rosettes themselves become a part of the toolkit of clues used to spatially solve the puzzle,

and this is what it should look like when finished, 

 finally, 

 the big one, 5000 COLOURS  is an exact reproduction of the original 1000 COLOURS in which the halftone screen of commercial four colour printing is greatly enlarged to become visible,

 5000 COLOURS is a CMYK colour gamut jigsaw puzzle of 5000 pieces. Each tile is an individual colour and the task is to place each colour exactly in relation to every other colour, "This one is for all those who wrote and said that 1000 COLOURS wasn't a challenge. Multiplying the number of pieces by a magnitude of five makes the difference in hue between neighbouring tiles barely perceptible. "  

well I did say it was a big one!

now in it's second edition, the new 5000 COLOURS is in a new panorama format measuring 2003mm wide and 810mm high and a ribbon die for added complexity, so with Christmas just around the corner if there are any jig-saw fanatics in the family, look no further, and no I am not on commission, I just thought they were a neat set of puzzles.
