No box image for this one, because it didn’t come in such. It came in a velvet bag with a tag that has a too-dark, too-small picture of the puzzle image. My grandmother’s friend had two wooden puzzles they found difficult to do (the pieces quite small and intricate), so she sent them to me. I was happy to accept! Yes, tricky but the focus feels meditative. I do have to say this type of picture is not really my style- it looks like someone took one of those adult meditative coloring books that have decorative patterns in animal figures, colored it all in, and had a puzzle cut of it. On many of the pieces you can see an outline edge soft and gray like grease pencil or something.
Also some edges that don’t line up,
and the pieces are rather thin for a wooden puzzle.
One was broken.
All that said, I did still enjoy doing it. I’m disappointed in myself that I forgot to flip it over and take a picture of the back, when done. I wonder if it had a lot of scorch marks . . . You can find this same image as a wooden puzzle under quite a few different brand names, sizes and titles- and I think that’s relevant to the lower quality too.
The whimsy shapes are fun! (Even though mine didn’t include a giraffe shape- other iterations of this puzzle seem to have a giraffe in it, which I think would be more fitting than sea creatures)
This one has: two canines, a penguin, an octopus, sea turtles,
a bird, a squirrel, another fox and dog (?), three rabbits, a garlic head, what I think are apple and pomegranate (hard to tell) and this horse-head-with-a-dagger figure that must be the company logo (it’s printed on the bag):
But these I had a harder time figuring out (sorry they’re blurry). Not sure of animals on the left. On the right, I think it’s a bobcat, a beaver, and a lizard- or otter?
Kind of amusing to puzzle over them (ha ha). Assembly below. Wonky pictures (to each other) because no frame. Completed size approximately 11 x 15″.
