                                This wooden packing puzzle by Jean-Claude Constantin features brightly colored metal anodized beads set in 8 uniquely shaped wooden pieces.  The object is to put all the pieces inside the frame so that you create diagonal lines of the same color.  The feature picture shows a line of 6 pink beads in the middle of the puzzle.  You can try to accomplish this line in a different color, as long as all the other lines follow the same pattern. A richly attractive puzzle that has many possibilities of play, and can entertain over and over again. Jean-Claude Constantin lives in Germany, where he designs and manufactures many different laser-cut wood puzzles, as well as metal puzzles and magic tricks.
