Still Life (Fruits) puzzle artwork description:
This classic still life motif puzzle has soft natural colors and features a close-up view of a dark, oval-shaped wood table overflowing with various colorful fruits. Each fruit has a distinct texture and tactile feel. Some fruits are arranged in a woven basket including a pear and cantaloupe. A bunch of grapes and raspberries fall gingerly over the side of the basket. One orange sits inside the basket while the second orange is partially unpeeled and curled over the basket's edge. In front of the basket are a pineapple, kiwi, strawberries, bananas, watermelon slice, plum, and halved avocado with an exposed pit. While fruit table is in the foreground, the background features an arched stained glass window with diamond-shaped panes. Each diamond window pane has thin, diagonal, raised lines outlined with a bold border. The remaining window panes are distinguished by a thin grid pattern.

OUR STORY
We are a family business established in 1977, and revived again in 2020. The Puzzled Co. was started by Philip Einsohn, a former early-childhood educator turned Waterjet design expert. In his first year of teaching, Philip struggled to find educational puzzles especially for low-sighted and blind students and parents alike. He began crafting wood puzzles for his classroom and was one of the first to create Braille puzzles for children. Today, using innovative technologies like Waterjet cutting and textured printing, Philip has realized his vision of inventing Puzzles for EveryBody™ as a unique, patent-pending, sensory art puzzling experience and classroom resource. All products are cut and printed in-house by Waterjet Works, our Dallas-based parent company.
