I’m an artist, and this is an affordable, precision laser-cut & engraved, crystal clear version of a special artwork of mine. It is a unique art puzzle of a long-eared owl – or is it a bunch of small creatures that such an owl would eat…? Be under no illusion, if you are brave enough to mix up all the 44 pieces, it is quite a challenge – and very rewarding when you complete it. It comes with a pair of white cotton gloves so you can try the puzzle without tarnishing its beautiful clarity – and you don’t have to spend time buffering out fingerprints!

It measures 290mm tall, 190mm wide, and 70mm deep (including stand). It is made entirely of 5mm thick premium recycled crystal clear cast Perspex®, and comes with a unique, artist-designed, complementary, stylish, crystal clear, minimalist two-piece stand – that displays the art puzzle to best effect – allowing light from all directions to shine through it. The crystal clear cast Perspex® is naturally UV-blocking and non-yellowing; up to 20 times stronger than glass, and is clearer.

While the pieces are smooth to the touch, it is not suitable for young children because some pieces are sharp by their very nature – like the tips of the tails of some of the small animals, and some pieces could easily be swallowed.

There is a video of me doing this puzzle and talking about it on YouTube – https://youtu.be/7MfVr5AQHiU
