Let the Sun Shine In 1,000-Piece Puzzle
by Irene Smit, Astrid van der Hulst, Editors of Flow Magazine, Anisa Makhoul (Illustrator)
5 out of 5 stars
This 1,000-piece puzzle is beautifully designed and thoughtfully crafted. The puzzle comes with a little 9″x6″ poster of the art, so that you can use it as a little poster, put the art in a frame, or use it to help you complete the puzzle. I was especially impressed to see that the backs of the puzzle pieces also have a little repetitive design of some blue flowers. It’s delightful to see little details like that which make this puzzle really special and show the exceptional craftmanship and careful thought that went into the design and manufacture of the product.
