Stereogram Jigsaw Puzzles

Brand: Springbok 3D Sensations 1994 Stereogram Jigsaw Puzzles Title: Merry Olde Santa By: Hallmark Cards and Digi-Rule Pieces: 500 random cut Size: 18" x 23.5"

I was quite young when I first saw the Stereogram Jigsaw Puzzles at the Hallmark store. I love that store but I was totally attracted to the puzzles they had in there too. Back in 1994 was when I was starting collecting jigsaw puzzles for retirement which was still YEARs away! But I could not resist assembling this one as my curiosity was totally peaked - not only to see if I could assemble such an image but whatever was I going to see when I did. I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised and  totally delighted with my accomplishment AND the vision only the eyes can see when looking at the image in the correct manner.

I assembled this Stereogram jigsaw puzzle back in the 1990's, likely 25 years ago. I do not have any photos but I do recall the border as being very daunting and I relied fully on the random shapes of the pieces.

As you can see in the close up photos below, the image pattern is completely repetitive and intentionally blurred at the bottom to generate the 3D Sensation.

Comments

I was captured immediately by the 3D Sensation of the Stereogram jigsaw puzzles when I read it on the box. It is likely the first time I discovered there are sometimes extras added to a basic puzzle image. Now I constantly look for that unique extra within a puzzle.

That said and once the puzzle was assembled, I had it mounted to a thin board and using the 'No-Glue' method I have the shrink plastic wrap covered over it.

I still have this puzzle on the wall so I can enjoy the 3D Sensation of the built-in Stereogram. If you have been lucky enough to experience the visions inside these images you will know how superb they truly are.
