Colorblind here! The yellow and blue will look different to almost every form of colorblindness. The green and blue will look pretty similar to people with Tritanopia. But I'm so used to looking at the shapes instead of the colors, that honestly for this puzzle that wouldn't bother me all that much due to the random cut. I think for absolutely everyone this is easier than a solid-color puzzle, for 98% of colorblind people, it's going to be about the same experience that you had, and for 2% of people it's going to be harder than for you but not as hard as a solid color. I never did puzzles as a kid because we had Charles Wysocki puzzles where I could never tell green grass, brown trees and red barns apart from each other. I only started doing puzzles in 2021 because you showed a Sue Nethercote by Lemonade Pursuits that was broken up into yellow, cyan, magenta and navy, which I knew I could distinguish! I've also done the 1000 colors puzzle. It took me 11 hours longer than you, and I needed my colorblindness filter on my phone, but I did it!

[@ITM95]

The portion of this involving Edna was my favorite part… Things like this are why you continue to set yourself above other content creators-not just “puzzle-KZbinrs” (And no shame in other puzzle-KZbinrs, I love them all!) There’s just always a purpose and intent with your videos and the production value is incredible.

[@coyoteartist]

That was pretty dang woot and I loved hearing the other people talk about her. They got spot on what makes art like this great.

[@BSWVI]

I really enjoy this introduction, and the funny thing is I recognize her name from way back in the day but couldn't place it. I don't know why I'd heard of her but I love her work and I love that you brought her to our attention! Yes let's get more of those into jigsaw puzzles!

[@MyEva909]

Love the inclusion of the original footage of the artist herself

[@KarenPuzzles]

In defense of everything in the background being a little bit off and uneven, I hung it all up while I was sick with a cold and I didn't want to invite someone over to help and then get them sick. Trust me, it was definitely bugging me in the editing more than it's bugging you 😭

[@puzzlingread]

At first, I thought it was a green screen, lol

[@TheGamingEevee8]

​@@puzzlingreadsame I also thought it was its very well done

[@MyEva909]

Really appreciate all the work! That little bit off really doesn't bug me

[@jiucki]

I didn't notice until you mentioned it 😂

[@SpencilPen]

The fact that you even put this much work into your backgrounds is good enough already

[@rahcek]

I think Edna Andrade would have loved this video. Your set design, your thoughtfulness about her work and enthusiasm about the puzzle as an art form... She would have been delighted by it all.

[@Welcometotherox]

I absolutely love the overlaid audio of the original artist. I would love more puzzle history videos in this style :)

[@siochainmama5025]

So, I am mildly colorblind but my sister is severely colorblind and we also have different types of colorblindness. Her's is red/green colorblindness, mine is blue/yellow. In this puzzle, I could absolutely see all the differences in colors but I thought the blue was grey. My sister can see yellow very well but she would have thought the green was brown. She thought peanut butter was green bc it's all the same to her. Very few people have complete colorblindness where they see just in shades of grey. That is incredibly rare. Anyway, fun puzzle and great video 😊👍❤️

[@bluji1250]

If you did a puzzle of Nymphia, though, it'd be super fun. She's an icon.

[@tdawg6365]

Next week perhaps?

[@wayne9_9]

Yes our reigning Banana Queen!!!

[@eddiethebarbarian]

One might even say it would be BANANAS

[@destinytorres252]

I was too hype when she pulled out the nymphia wind puzzle tho 💛

[@jasonperez8792]

A little surprised to learn that you watch drag race Karen ! That’s fun

[@christinecross4721]

I am so loving that you added the video from the original artist! This was such a rewarding video to watch.

[@itsmephil2255]

Welcome back Karen, big respect for the room decoration That's a 10/10 in my book 👏🏼

[@mykeylownds4076]

Edna Andrade is such a incredible artist, I love seeing someone else geek out about these colorful circles. It translates to a puzzle so well!

[@thegrossmeyer]

You always make wonderfully produced videos Karen, but this might be your best ever. The set production, you made a shirt, and having Edna and Friends talking while you were complete the second half of the puzzle, I felt like I was watching some kind of PBS documentary or something. Love love love it. Oh, and green!

[@angelofmusic997]

I would love to see a video on the history of competitive puzzling!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

It’s a beautifully designed puzzling room setup btw

[@rmsgrey]

While I'm not significantly colour-blind myself (when younger, I used to have occasional trouble with specific shades of blue and green, but it's been decades since I noticed it), I did have a friend at school who was completely colour-blind. They didn't make a big thing out of it, but it came out when, in one geography lesson, we were given a coloured map where two of the colours were yellows that were slightly less different than the two yellows in this video - if you had them sharing a border, you could tell which was which, but if you just had one of them on the map, surrounded by other colours, it was impossible to tell which it was - except for my friend, for whom they were (effectively) two shades of grey, and that difference in brightness, without being distracted by the similarity of hue, was enough for him to confidently and reliably distinguish them, while he struggled with other pairs of colours. In other words, both colour-blind and normal colour vision have difficulty telling some pairs of colours apart that the other vision type can distinguish readily.

[@margothutton]

Your glee in your videos is so charming ^_^ It just makes me go "I want everything happy and wholesome to happen to this person forever!"

[@A0V1]

Wow! You went all out for this video.

[@toastyrybread5993]

Honestly this channel being all puzzles with the occasional drag race joke is iconic and the reason you’re one of my fav KZbinrs 💖💖

[@KarenPuzzles]

Truly my only two loves 💅🏻

[@Lara__]

I got so excited about the Nymphia Wind puzzle too, but it's obviously too early for it to even exist :)

[@KarenPuzzles]

Sadly it’s fake 😭

[@icturner23]

No to the yellow cardboard! The red backing looks SO good in general and especially in combination with the blue, green and yellow.

[@alexiswolf3855]

It was lovely to hear the artist talking along with the puzzle, artists are so important.

[@pattiwicksteed3731]

I suspect someone else may have suggested this, but... If you empty the puzzle pieces in to a net bag, you can go outside and just shake it to get rid of the dust. :D

[@PennyPeace1]

I screamed so hard when you pulled out the mini version. My partner was like tf are you doing

[@jcortese3300]

It would depend on the type of colorblindness you have; there are several kinds. The one most people are aware of (and that is most common) is one that blurs the distinction between green v red but permits good distinction of yellow v blue. If you have this kind of colorblindness, the puzzle wouldn't look yellow, green, and blue but instead might look yellow, tan, and blue. As a result, it wouldn't be that hard.

[@firstname5437]

I don't have an innate appreciation of Edna's style of artwork, but your presentation of it really made it Op. You do incredible work. And so did Edna Andrade. I don't mean to diminish what she accomplished. It's just wonderful to see all forms of art flourish.

[@stillnotstill]

I think that isn't diminishing anything. Different art styles appeal to different people, and you've kept an open enough mind to see value in it anyway, I think that's awesome tbh

[@LindsayOLeary]

I really appreciate all of the hours of background research on the artist, Edna Andrade. Love this aspect of your puzzle videos 🎨💙

[@KimSimful]

Why doesn’t Springbok bring out more of these kind of puzzles today? Or maybe miniatures of the old ones? I’d love to try it! Blue!

[@CodeOmega0]

You're always your own worse critic - the set design looks amazing and production value of your videos is always through the roof! Who else could we expect to create an entire set just to match a puzzle design? Wonderful video as always.

[@noshinskoala]

one of my favorite parts of puzzling is getting to appreciate every inch of a piece of art, so I really appreciated the inclusion of the documentary footage and all the other pieces by edna that you shared and appreciated. Also the amount of time you put into cutting out all the green and blue circles for the set is definitely noticed and admired!

[@pansyari]

I totally agree about the way doing a puzzle gives you quality time with an image that you don't really get in any other interaction with visual art (that I can think of). And I love learning the history and context of a work. It just expands that feeling of getting to know something inside and out.

[@THATSmE4EVA2u]

And here I am, grown up on Ravensburger Puzzles, thinking: 'Oh, 73 pieces? Too bad she's missing at least 1 piece.' 🙈

[@jumpincows]

The added interview footage is so great! I love learning more about the art itself.

[@electricwheelchair]

When you said "73", my first reaction was: How can that be? That's not a product of two integers! Oh right, it's a Springbok puzzle. 😉

[@thomasdegroat6039]

I am obsessed with the set decoration matching the puzzle!

[@artsytype]

I LOVE the set design!!!!

[@rachel6843]

Just finished by first 5000 piece puzzle over 6 days and its all thanks to Karen! I tackled the pokemon image you did a while back and loved every minute of it

[@sydneyfairbairn3773]

Love the editing where you place the pieces one right after the other.

[@jennifertrace3836]

Karen’s wonderful mind + crafting skills + design skills + excellent video/editing skills + one funky cool puzzle = pure joy.😊

[@WelshGingerCat]

Welcome back. We've missed you.

[@CatherineStippell]

I always enjoy how you add history and background to the different puzzles you solve. It's always good to remember it's not just a Springbok puzzle, it's also Edna's artwork too.

[@popsicleemperor]

BLUE! ALso omg LOVE the prep and background and SHIRT for all this. 10/10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@clueingforbeggs]

15:57 - you raised an interesting question. I have an extension (normally for web development) that simulates colour deficiency. I know it's almost certainly not the same as being colour-blind, but I tried out all the filters, and protan- and deuteranomaly (red and green cone deficiency) seem pretty visible at 100%, but there was less visibility of the circle colours with tritanomaly at 100% (although I could still see a difference)

[@sarahdugmore7079]

That is such a beautiful puzzle, Karen. The green and blue really popped against the yellow. Love these old sprinkbok puzzles

[@DrR0BERT]

This is one of my favorite videos of yours. So much information. I loved hearing the artist discuss her art while watching you place pieces. Your enthusiasm to this puzzle is infectious. I want to do this puzzle. And BLUE

[@steve_weinrich]

The work on the background was definitely worth it.

[@melissawingfield8666]

I like how you give background information about the puzzles you do, or have done, or haven't done yet. It's really interesting!

[@annabodot962]

Philly native and I LOVED this entire video. Thank you for your research and loving presentation to Edna. Awesome job, Karen! BTW, my mom, born in 1918 on Broad St in Philly - nine kids in the family and her mom would give them the puzzle and take away the box. They had to assemble it without the image to help. A very, very clever way Anna got them out of her hair long enough for her bridge with wine parties!

[@dianaburch69]

Adding in the interview was a great touch…overall I think this is one of the best edited videos you’ve made! 10⭐️

[@davidsix4553]

I live outside Philly, so it was cool to learn more about an artist active in Philly. Our library system has passes to many museums, which can be checked out. My eyes are blue, so I had to choose it.

[@NyeshaMcCauley]

The production gets better and better. Love this puzzle community ❤️.

[@theaudiobookaficionado]

Obsessed with her art now!!! Beautiful puzzle

[@kleinida6882]

Love the green and blue shirt (and your dedication to the theme!)

[@palatina6626]

I love the thickness and the bright green yellow and blue colours of retro puzzles.

[@theoriginaledi]

I really enjoyed learning more about the artist and her work, and it was a great accompaniment to watching you work on the puzzle. I'd love it if you were interested in doing more of that sort of thing whenever you're able!

[@mathsalot8099]

The commentary around 21:15 where she is talking about how the art gives you a certain feeling beyond the subject matter. And then Karen clicks that missing piece that had been taunting us for half the video. What a feeling of satisfaction, and what a great narration behind that moment. What she was saying about the painting is true of your artistic expression in videos, too. It's more than just the form and precision. It's the feelings evoked! Well done!

[@sambeawesome]

I've been following you since your DIY days so it was fun to see the set design you did here! I can definitely see the amount of time and effort that went into it, it looks fantastic! :D Also loved the portion with Edna discussing her work. Loved this video, like a mix of fun puzzling, art, and documentary all in one, haha.

[@ChaiLatte13]

I already have vertigo but I have to say this puzzle looks really cool! I cannot believe you made a whole studio set to match the puzzle. wow!

[@hyoominie]

Love how dedicated you are to the theme of each puzzle you choose to feature. Cutting out all those circles and even sewing up a shirt! But totally worth it, it looks great! Personally I'm more of a yellow person, but green fits perfect for spring ♥ And thank you so much for introducing us to Edna, her works are indeed stunning! Artists from back in the day always amaze me, watch me do a deepdive on her all evening :D

[@megancooper7773]

I'm seriously convinced that the puzzle image is not the same as the "Yellow Bounce" artwork. Yellow Bounce looks like a diamond to me, while the puzzle looks more like a windmill. It's strange that Springbok used a slightly different version of one of her works -- maybe due to licensing problems? Regardless, super interesting!

[@KarenPuzzles]

Hmm, interesting. Maybe she did a new version just for this puzzle?

[@kbender3626]

Karen: "Clearly, I love puzzles." My husband as he walks through the room: "I think we figured that out." :)

[@KarenPuzzles]

😂😂😂

[@r3dp9]

There are a lot of artists named Edna, but when I searched for 'edna artist', I could immediately pick out the one made by Edna Andrade. She has a very distinct style.

[@originalsupermommy]

As soon as I saw the thumbnail I yelled "I HAVE THAT PUZZLE!❤" the mini one !😊

[@KarenPuzzles]

It's so fun, right?

[@originalsupermommy]

@@KarenPuzzles Yes! Definitely one of my favorites. Mini puzzles are so cute!

[@majaa9294]

Would love to see another video where you solve more of Edna's puzzles!

[@PKHARDIN]

You really elevated this video by bringing in the artist and her words. That was one of the coolest things you have done!❤

[@patrickmucerino7163]

Love love the editing on this. So bright happy nice music and the way you matched the puzzle work to the music to the overlayed interviews ❤

[@cherisserich4912]

I love this puzzle. Green and Blue are 2 of my favorite colors

[@sonjanaugler244]

Support for you taking two days to do the puzzle. No burnout, KZbin needs you.

[@alexiswolf3855]

The background is giving school project you did when you were 12 vibes and I’m LIVING

[@catherine2563]

I love the blue and green shirt! This is an awesome video, it’s always enjoyable to watch and listen to you, and to hear from the artist herself was a bonus. I love all your videos, can’t get enough of them!

[@JSanime]

I think art on puzzles is a great way to expose a person to an artist's work. As for colorblindness.. most people with it, and it's mostly men, only have trouble distinguishing certain shades of colors. For me it's reds and GREENs or BLUEs and purples. It's very rare for a person to see in shades of gray. Your 3000 piece puzzle was particularly challenging for me because of my difficulty distinguishing colors. But I still enjoyed it.

[@Serenity_Dee]

That you did that background for just this puzzle _while sick_ is just amazing.

[@disaidra]

I dont really enjoy doing these kinds of puzzles but I do enjoy watching you do them, especially knowing you enjoy them XD The puzzles with a more uniform pattern like this kinda stress me out. Oh and blue, definitely.

[@ranaawwad7677]

watching you put these pieces is really therapeutic

[@Lohoris]

OMG the history of competitive puzzling would be so coooool

[@VisualMind]

Watching this at 4am due to insomnia is not ideal I have to tell you 😂 especially looking at the even more trippy designs at the end

[@leagaillard755]

your passion and enthusiasm are just so contagious! i had a lot of fun watching this and i don't even really do puzzles myself. thank you for sharing edna's words and art, and helping this documentary not get lost in time.

[@overgrownghost]

Green!! This was so beautifully set up, I love the creativity you did outside of puzzling and hope for more! The shirt, the background, the table. All for one video? Iconic~

[@charlotteepright5039]

Your video skills shine in this one! I love to watch your videos Thankyou Karen keep up the hard work is awesome!

[@nsejita]

I appreciate all the work you put in your room design, it definitely makes your vids stand out. Keep it up!

[@beautifulsmall]

found a great passion in jigsaw solving as a scientist after seeing Karen and Alejandro at a competition. Puzzle dust, the matching volume to the cuts, at no loss. a magical powder that can join parts into their origional order. . been testing sorting algorythams, and edge first isnt fastest, super sorting into groups working well. more data needed.

[@scottwitherstone9458]

Blue 😊 I loved your video. I am sure that Edna Andrade would have been very pleased with the effort you applied to celebrate her work, and the great Sprinbok puzzle. Thank you.

[@juliettekay9494]

Blue omg love this puzzle 💚💙💛 so glad you opened it up and shared with us! Love the way you see the colours in the puzzle, so trippy!

[@NIky200011]

Rarely do I leave likes, but this video was crafted with so much love and attention to detail that I couldn't help but reciprocate. Absolutely mesmerizing work and great t-shirt!

[@sarahgibbons9737]

I did my first vintage springbok puzzle recently and really enjoyed the feel and random shape of the pieces.

[@Mellie9876]

Great job on sewing the shirt!

[@jenniebrouse8504]

I love the green and blue! I will check with my colorblind father what he thinks of the puzzle colors when he visits me later today

[@dche64]

I appreciate the shirt and the backdrop. Very silly, and very entertaining. Blue

[@badgerrambler]

I love those satisfying moments when you gently press in those last few pieces. 👌

[@andreacarter9545]

What a beautiful puzzle! I'd love to try it. Looking forward to all the Nationals stuff. 🧩 💜

[@KarenPuzzles]

I’m working on it! I can’t wait to be able to share it with all of you 🥰

[@TheUbiquitrix]

As soon as I saw those blue and green circles on the yellow background I said, Yellow Flash! We had that for nearly 50 years. We even put it together on more than one occasion.

[@paperchaser29]

I did this puzzle in 1969. Bought it in my college bookstore. It made studying for finals that year a bit more of a challenge to say the least. Bravo Karen. (Wish I’d never given it away. Would love to try it again.)

[@gregsmith4847]

The production, design, quality, enthusiasm and pure entertainment values that are included in this video is what keeps getting me to be an avid viewer. Congratulations!!!

[@halluth]

Karen, I wanted to thank you for introducing me to puzzling. I knew of Puzzle, obviously, but I never really tried one, like sat down and gave it a solid go. You TikTok came on my FYP for the Worlds last year and I found your KZbin from there. Now I have solved 5 puzzles in a week, thank you for introducing me to a good and healthy fixation (better than the hours I would spend on the computer playing video games)

[@GraemeRobinson]

Love this puzzle - would love to do it. I appreciated every aspect of this vintage puzzle Karen - I think you've levelled up your channel a few notches!! Love the colour co-ordination too. I pretty much only do artwork puzzles now and primarily for the reasons you set out, that it gives you time with the image that you would never otherwise have. It fosters a much deeper appreciation I think than most of us think we have time to devote to art appreciation. Great work!!

[@elianwolfert3879]

This is not a puzzle I would do myself, but I very much enjoy this video about it! Funny how different the colours are between the small and full size versions, especially the ~blue~ I grearly appreciate the effort you put in to theme this video. 🤩 And all real too, many would’ve put up a green-screen and do a digital effect but this is so much nicer! The custom shirt is just the cherry on top! Wonder what the artist would’ve thought of this video. ☺️

[@gailshaughnessey8914]

I agree with other comments - including the footage of the artist was wonderful! Green

[@ornellamoo]

Loved those interview clips, great idea!

[@KS-dp2rk]

All the hard work goes very much appreciated!! No matter of “crooked” or not! We love your creativity ❤️

[@justdrifted]

I love how much attention you give to your videos. Great video as usual. Can't wait for the competition videos

[@RoundSeal]

I'm not colourblind, but I've noticed that I have a lot of problems working with yellows in puzzles - it's always the last bit I do with gradient puzzles! I do tend to lean towards 🫐blue🫐 puzzles, it seems. I really appreciate the extra effort you put into your backdrops, your outfits, all of that! I makes each video feel like a celebration of whichever puzzle you're showcasing. I also _loved_ seeing the clip with Edna herself, it really made the puzzle feel that much more special. I hadn't heard of her before this video, and now I'd love to get some prints of her work; the way each image seems static, cold, almost sterile at first, until your gaze sinks in a little deeper and it suddenly bursts into movement and life. That was wonderful. 💚💙
