Dies ist das 2. Puzzle unserer Artisan Series ™ – jetzt in 7 mm!

Wenn Ihnen das erste Puzzle der Artist & Artisan-Serie – „Eyes Full Of Stars“ – gefallen hat, dann werden Sie dieses LIEBEN!

Dieses wunderschöne Puzzle wurde zuerst von Mark von Hand auf einer Dekupiersäge geschnitten und dann sorgfältig von Hand in unsere Software eingezeichnet, damit wir es in lasergeschnittener Form herstellen können – so können Sie sich zu einem Bruchteil des Preises an einem „handgeschnittenen“ Puzzle eines Puzzle-Meisters erfreuen!

Hier ist ein Clip auf YouTube, in dem das Puzzle von Hand geschnitten wird (öffnet sich in einem neuen Fenster).

Die in Sydney lebende Fiona Smith ist die Künstlerin hinter diesem atemberaubenden Flamingo. Fiona malt in ihrem Heimstudio mit Öl, aber nur, wenn sie nicht gerade von Elstern, Kookaburras, Würgern, Loris und dem einsamen Kakadu belästigt wird, die täglich vorbeikommen!

Es ist keineswegs unpassend, dass meine Vögel in Innenräumen erscheinen. So ist es auch bei Chez Smith hin und wieder. In meinen Gemälden sind sie in häuslichen Arrangements schöner Gegenstände vor stark gemusterten Hintergründen dargestellt. Die Gemälde sind eine Mischung aus Motiven, die ich aus vergangenen Zeiten interessant finde und einigen meiner aktuellen Faszinationen.

Sowohl der Künstler als auch der Kunsthandwerker werden durch Lizenzgebühren aus dem Verkauf jedes Puzzles dieser Serie unterstützt. Mit dem Kauf eines Puzzles der Artist & Artisan-Serie unterstützen Sie also die Künste – vielen Dank!

Weitere Informationen zur gemeinsamen Artist & Artisan Series finden Sie in unserem Journaleintrag: Zurück zu unseren Wurzeln (wird in einem neuen Fenster geöffnet).

Dieses Puzzle wird in unserer wunderschönen neuen Premium-Verpackung geliefert – einer sehr stabilen Box mit Magnetverschluss. Es wird in Ihrem Bücherregal oder auf Ihrem Couchtisch fantastisch aussehen!

Very Disappointed

The art work was lovely BUT the whimsey pieces were not particularly whimsical, many of the pieces didn't actually connect but just abutted each other which meant that if you breathed on the section it came apart and you had to reassemble it, when the pieces did fit, you often had to struggle to get them in and by the time you did you had knocked others out. I contacted the company and was told "Oh,its an "Artisan" puzzle. They are just like that." Not exactly the response I was expecting on a $90 puzzle. This was my 7th Victory puzzle BTW. I'll definitely give Liberty and/or Wentworth a try before I buy another Victory puzzle.

Thanks for your review Jacque - just for clarity regarding our response to you relative to your query as to why this puzzle was not like the others you have purchased, what we stated was:
'What you have purchased is one of our Artisan Series puzzles - it's actually a traditional 'hand cut' puzzle that was originally cut by a skilled artisan, Mark Capittella - here is an article about the collaboration:
https://victorypuzzles.com/blogs/news/going-back-to-our-roots - These puzzles feature fewer whimsies in order to make them more challenging'
We're sorry that the experience of this puzzle did not live up to your expectations and was not similar to the other puzzles that you purchased from us. We appreciate your custom.

Another Artisan series treasure

I've already got Nos 1 and 3 of the Artisan series. When they were both just out, I chose No 3 rather than this one as the image seemed more difficult. I think I was wrong - the flamingo itself and the tiled floor are fairly easy parts, but the rest has some very crafty cutting, and when solving without picture peeking, the repetition of colours and shapes in different areas, and the absence of consistent shapes like No 3's bottle tops, plus some crafty line cutting, make this a serious challenge. Based on one attempt at each one, 1 and 2 are just ahead of 3 for me. Part of my idea for my own jigsaw collection is variety of puzzles, so I'll be waiting a while before buying another Artisan, and picking one that looks nice and tough, with the toughness accompanied by entertainment. Mark Cappitella doesn't do many whimsies, but the ones in this puzzle are seriously clever, including the positioning in some cases - like the prawn (with antennae on a neighbouring piece) which the flamingo has in its bill. There's at least one other with positioning as part of the cleverness, but I'll leave you some things to discover.

Another fine effort...

The cut makes this puzzle and I'm not sure there is anybody cutting them right now better than Mark Capitella. Feels like you are doing a puzzle with a much higher piece count. Exceptional value. Would recommend to anyone playing the wooden puzzle game.

Great puzzle

This is the next best thing to a handcut wooden puzzle, beautiful quality and the cut around rather than through shapes makes it an extra challenge. Have ordered the next in the Artisan series.
