Introducing the 2nd puzzle in our Artist & Artisan Series

If you enjoyed the first Artist & Artisan Series puzzle - Eyes Full Of Stars - then you're going to LOVE this one! 

This gorgeous puzzle was first cut by hand by Mark on a scroll saw and then meticulously hand traced into our software to enable us to produce it in laser cut form - allowing you to enjoy a 'hand cut' puzzle from a master puzzle maker for a fraction of the price!

Here's a clip of the puzzle being cut by hand on youtube (opens in new window)

Sydney based Fiona Smith is the artist behind this stunning Flamingo - Fiona paints in oils from her home studio, but only when she is not being badgered by the magpies, kookaburras, butcher birds, lorikeets and the lone cockatoo who come by daily!

"It is not at all incongruous that my birds appear in interior settings. That's how it is, from time to time, at chez Smith. In my paintings, they are portrayed in domestic arrangements of beautiful objects against highly patterned backgrounds. The paintings are a pastiche of designs that I find interesting from times past and some of my current fascinations"

Both the artist and the artisan are supported by royalty payments from the sale of every puzzle in this series, so by purchasing an Artist & Artisan Series puzzle, you are supporting the arts - thank you!

This puzzle comes in our beautiful new premium quality packaging - a very sturdy box with a magnetic closure. It will look fabulous on your bookshelf or coffee table!

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.
