I just joined here, and I could tell a few things about myself. So we can get to know each other. If you only read this first chapter, here's a TL;...

Welcome to Dev🎉

Would love to see more about creating grungy designs in photoshop!

Thanks! Now I definitely need to create a post about that. Meanwhile, I have an old blog about my time to time doodles and thoughts which I managed to maintain for 3 months 🙈 grungejournal.wordpress.com/ I should clearly continue also blogging about those too, but there's always too many interesting projects going on at the same time 😅

Those are super cool, dreaming in technicolor is my favorite.

1000-5000 pieces is "medium size"? Sheesh. :) Nice to learn a bit more about you!

Haha! It used to be "large" before, but then I discussed with one of my colleagues about the level of their puzzles and they told assembling now a 21000 piece puzzle so I changed my range to "medium" 😂

Just out of curiosity: how much room do you need for one of those medium ones (in average)? Do you need an oversized table or even floorspace?

It depends, a 3000 one fits on the table but for the one and only 5000 one I had to assemble on the floor. That had a little bit touch luck because during assembling it, I did two removals. Even though I had glued the pieces I had already done, it was still missing some when finished. Oh well, that happens 🤷‍♀️

Thanks! My next post (still working on photos for it) will actually be about Legos! I'll be sure to attach some pics about my current works. Unfortunately, my collection of pieces is still too small to save all the works I've done, but I have pictures of some of my earlier works I can attach too, not sure what is the best of them though 🙃

Hello Saija! Welcome to Dev 💖
Legos are so cool! Have you tried any workshops at work with Lego Serious Play facilitation? If yes, what did you think about it? 😊

Thanks! So nice to be here 🥰 I've heard about the Serious Play workshops, but haven't been in any. I though have been in one other workshop where I had to assemble my own avatar from Legos, but it didn't follow the official process. That was fun though. I would like to attend to Lego Serious Play workshop one day, I think we have at least one guy in our company who could facilitate one. Have you been in one?

Great to see you too! I can promise there will be pics of legos, and I bet watercooler topic has not yet post about how to organize your legos most efficiently 😂
