Puzzle Description:

Psycho Bride!! I had a heck-of-a-time with this one, but I just loved the picture so I had to do it :) I hope you can see a resemblance.

Wow! Terrific picture!

LOL... This is a funny puzzle naneki :D
I didn't look at the solution, but when I realised that it was NOT a crooked face, with an ear in upper left corner, but a hand... lol... then I looked at the pic of the stabbing Bride. (And boy am I proud that I remembered where to look for the link... lol... brainfog was gone for a little while.)
I can't wait to see how you manage to make a puzzle of me.
Exciting... :o)

Yeah..she had some great pictures, but I couldn't resist doing this picture

This one is quite challenging for me so far! But I have decided not to peek to see which picture you chose, as an incentive to get better at solving these puzzles!

We'll see how long my resolve holds out!

Here's a hint: 2 glasses of champagne do NOT, repeat NOT, enhance wpn puzzle-solving abilities.

Of course, to be sure, I will have to do some more test runs. You know. For SCIENCE.

Wow - I don't think I took the best path to solving that one!! I did as much as I could around the edges, and was stuck after solving half the face and the 'crooked ear'. I tried working on the 7 in row 2, and could only narrow it down to the 2 middle pieces. Took me a long time to figure out I could solve more of the center than I thought, and that finally opened up the rest of the hand and face. I was very surprised that this puzzle was not tagged 'requires guessing'. I'd blame it on having a bad solving day, but this was my third or fourth attempt at solving this puzzle. I thought the hand was going to be a hair bun until I got more of the arm done! I think I need some of that champagne after solving that one!!

Gitte's portrait is in my queue to solve next (it'll be at least my 3rd attempt on that one too). If I can make it past Gitte, then asobi's Lawn Mower will be the last puzzle I've made multiple attempts at (of the ones I've tried).

I was able to do the sides by logic, but ended up guessing on the hand (not realizing yet what it was, of course). Once I had that in, the middle was pretty straightforward. Has anyone gotten the hand by pure logic?

I had a couple spots that I was only able to progress by trial and error and a couple places where I guessed although the evolving image suggested that a specific answer was most likely.
