{"product_id":"amusante-girafe-puzzle-en-bois","title":"The Funny Giraffe Wooden Puzzle","description":"\u003ch3\u003eA giraffe looking down at you\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe head is frontal but tilted, so the animal appears to be leaning down rather than standing level. The ears splay wide to either side, worked in rose, lavender and teal, while the face runs gold and ochre with a burgundy neck below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe eyes are the giveaway. They are drawn with long lashes and dark rims, and there is a distinct crease around the mouth that reads as amusement, which is where the name comes from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThree treatments on one board\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ears carry long feathered strokes in cool colours. The face is dense zentangle in warm ones, crowned by a beaded band across the brow with pendant drops hanging from it and a flower at each temple. The neck below is different again: broad burgundy patches separated by gold lines, which is the giraffe's actual coat pattern rather than ornament.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThose three areas sort apart immediately, and each is built with a different method.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA savannah inside the head\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe figural pieces are the animals a giraffe shares ground with: a gorilla, a monkey, a rhinoceros, an elephant, a hippo, an antelope, a flamingo, a hyena, a camel, a palm tree, and a smaller giraffe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThey sit across the face and the neck rather than around the edges, and lifting them leaves clean silhouettes in the pattern – the half-built board reads as a giraffe full of holes shaped like the rest of the savannah.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it slows down\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe neck. The coat pattern repeats: burgundy patch, gold line, burgundy patch, all the way down, and the patches are similar enough in shape that pieces from different rows are interchangeable at a glance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ears have the opposite problem – they mirror each other almost exactly, so a piece from the left will sit convincingly on the right until the direction of the strokes is checked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere to start\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe eyes and the muzzle. They sit on the centre line, carry the only asymmetric detail on the board, and fix the head before either the ears or the neck is attempted.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Creatifwood","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47256686428291,"sku":"PC018","price":39.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/8818\/8035\/files\/LAmusante-Girafe-Puzzle-en-bois.jpg?v=1780866577","url":"https:\/\/creatifwood.fr\/en\/products\/the-funny-giraffe-wooden-puzzle","provider":"Creatifwood","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
