{"product_id":"starry-cat-portrait-wooden-puzzle","title":"Starry Cat Portrait Wooden Puzzle","description":"\u003cp\u003eA cat fills the whole frame, painted in the swirling brushwork of Starry Night. His fur ripples in cobalt and gold strokes. His dark eyes meet yours head on. Tiny yellow stars wheel above his ears. It looks as if Van Gogh himself had a studio cat after all. The Starry Cat Portrait Wooden Puzzle brings that scene to your table for a calm, rewarding build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout This Design\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis rectangular wooden puzzle shows a single tabby cat painted in Van Gogh's signature brushstroke style. The palette is built on rich cobalt blue, ochre yellow, soft cream, and warm gold highlights. His fur is rendered in directional swirls and short tiled marks, the same vocabulary as the famous Starry Night sky. Two dark glossy eyes anchor the face, with a small orange nose at the center. The top corners of the image carry small yellow swirling stars to seal the Starry Night reference. His long pale whiskers fan out in confident strokes. When you finish the puzzle, the cat reads as both a portrait and a piece of art history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy People Love the Starry Cat Portrait Wooden Puzzle\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArt history fans and devoted cat people both pick this one up. There is something quietly clever about a Van Gogh cat that makes it a favorite among gift givers. The hidden whimsy pieces are themed to the scene: a tiny brushstroke star, a small paint palette, a paw print, and a curling whisker are scattered through the build. Hunting for them turns the puzzle into a slow museum visit on your table. People who finish this one often gift it to the cat-owning artist in their life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePremium Craftsmanship in Every Piece\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Starry Cat Portrait Wooden Puzzle is cut from 4mm basswood plywood, the same warm, light wood we use across our whole range. Basswood holds its shape over years and does not bend or fray the way cardboard does. Each piece is laser-cut, so the edges are crisp and the click between pieces is firm. The art is printed straight onto the wood with UV-cured inks, which means the cobalt blues and ochre yellows stay rich even in a sunny room. The puzzle ships in a sturdy gift box with a printed cover so it doubles as the storage between builds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: 4mm basswood plywood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape: Rectangular outer panel, irregular laser-cut pieces inside\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrint: UV-cured, fade-resistant inks printed directly on the wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDifficulty: Level 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinished size and pieces, by size option:\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eKids: 21.4 × 14.7 cm \/ 8.4 × 5.8 in, 118 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSmall: 30 × 20.6 cm \/ 11.8 × 8.1 in, 202 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMedium: 41.6 × 28.7 cm \/ 16.4 × 11.3 in, 305 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eLarge: 56 × 38.8 cm \/ 22 × 15.3 in, 505 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePieces: irregular shapes with hidden whimsy pieces themed to the design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackaging: recyclable gift box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded: full-color reference poster to guide assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA Thoughtful Gift for Art And Cat Lovers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wooden puzzle makes a great gift for the friend who keeps Van Gogh postcards on the fridge and a cat on the couch. It suits a birthday for an art teacher, a holiday gift for a museum member, or a housewarming for an artist's first studio. It hangs beautifully in a studio, a creative office, or a hallway lined with prints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Assembly Experience\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Starry Cat Portrait is rated Level 3. The two dark eyes and the orange nose make clean starting anchors. From there the swirling cheek fur and the tiny stars break into satisfying medium-difficulty work. The slow finish is the deep blue background brushstrokes, where small directional shifts make each piece feel earned. Most builders finish the Small in one focused sitting, the Medium across a weekend or two, and the Large over several relaxed evenings. A full-colour reference poster ships in the box, which helps when the blue brushstroke pieces start to look alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Display or Store It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the last piece clicks in, slide a thin sheet of card under the panel and lift it as one rectangle. A frame in warm walnut or matte gold suits the painterly palette best. It looks at home in a studio, a small library, or a hallway hung with other museum prints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Opus Puzzles","offers":[{"title":"Kids","offer_id":44402352816179,"sku":"WP10196-KID","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Small","offer_id":44397575798835,"sku":"WP10196-S","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium","offer_id":44397575831603,"sku":"WP10196-M","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large","offer_id":44397575864371,"sku":"WP10196-L","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0676\/3292\/2675\/files\/WP10196.webp?v=1780553506","url":"https:\/\/www.opuspuzzles.com\/products\/starry-cat-portrait-wooden-puzzle","provider":"Opus Puzzles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
