Gale Pitt built a career out of noticing the small, strange, and funny details of everyday life, and this garden scene is a perfect example of her eye. At first glance it's a busy, colourful corner of plants and creatures. Look closer and you'll find the entire alphabet woven into the artwork, one letter hidden per object, animal, or plant. A reference key for all 26 is included on the box insert, so you can check your progress or save it as a final challenge once the puzzle is complete.
This is a 1000-piece puzzle, finished at 50.8 x 68.6 cm, which makes it a solid afternoon (or several evenings) of puzzling for one person or a shared project for the whole table. It's printed on 250 GSM matte artpaper, so colours stay true and there's no glare to fight with under lamplight. The pieces are cut from thick recycled paperboard with a ribbon-cut edge, which gives them a snug, satisfying fit and keeps dust to a minimum as you work.
Inside the box you'll find a 22.9 x 30.5cm print of the full image, handy for checking your progress or simply enjoying the artwork once you've found your way through the letters. The box itself measures 25.4 x 33 x 4.8cm, tidy enough for a shelf and sturdy enough to store the puzzle safely between sessions.
It's a good choice for anyone who likes a puzzle with a bit of a game built in, and a nice gift for readers, gardeners, or anyone who enjoys art with a sense of humour tucked into the details.
