Description
Butterflies are some of the most beautiful insects to visit our gardens. In the UK, there are about 60 butterfly species, each of which come in vastly different shapes, sizes and colours. In the gorgeous 1000 piece puzzle, artist Fiona Osbaldstone has painted her favourite butterflies. How many species have you been lucky enough to see?
As with all Gibsons jigsaws, we use 100% recycled puzzle board and work with the best artists from all around the world. The beautifully illustrated pieces fit perfectly together and are made from the thickest puzzle board on the market
At Gibsons we put the people and planet first. Our puzzles are securely sealed with biodegradable clear labels rather than shrink wrap, to reduce plastic waste. We use vegetable-based inks and our puzzle pieces are stored in a plastic bag that can be recycled at local centres.

About the Artist
Born and bred in Kent, Fiona loved painting as a kid and used to paint her versions of the Disney Characters. She always wanted to do something with art and went to the Kent Institute of Art & Design to see what the possibilities were. She was inspired by the works of David Shepherd and Norman Rockwell for their detail and diversely different styles.
Fiona usually works in watercolour but can also do pencil or acrylics, depending on what is required. Her style is realistic, but not photo realistic; “I just like it to look as it’s meant to be.” Her work includes natural history, botanical, people and scenes. Outside of the artistic field, although not too far removed, she loves pottery and makes and sells her own pieces and enjoys photography as well as cycling but is “not too good at that and invariably end up in a ditch.’
