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!

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!
