Shiba's Candy Store is full of furry fun activity today! All the little pups in town have gathered inside the candy store to pick out their favourite confections. The artist, Kayomi Harai, does a wonderful job of expressing the playfulness of these adorable pups as they have fun picking our toys, playing with balls, and trying on a mask. It looks like a few feathered friends are curious as they take up residence at the gumball machine, which is a perfect place for wee birds.
Random cut pieces, so the puzzle never settles into a predictable grid.
The maker
Cobble Hill
Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
Cobble Hill was founded in 2005 and is run from Victoria. It is not in Cobble Hill, and never has been. The owner simply liked the name.
Most puzzle companies cut their pieces in a grid, in neat rows and columns, which is called a… ribbon cut. Cobble Hill uses a random cut instead: the pieces bend and curve, some tall, some short, and they interlock without ever falling into a pattern. It makes the puzzle harder in a way that has nothing to do with the picture.
