LADYBIRD SHELTER
This is not a decoration. It’s a protest. Ladybird numbers are dropping and with them, the balance of everything. These tiny warriors chew through garden pests, keeping ecosystems in check without a single drop of pesticide. But habitat loss and chemical warfare are closing in. Two-dotted ladybirds are especially under pressure. This shelter gives them the cracks and crevices they need. Hang it. Nail it. Make space for the rebels.
This shelter was 3D printed from 500g of cloudy white and coral red clay. No glazes, no plastic. Tough stuff, made to last. It hangs from a solid metal loop, ready to ride out the seasons. Designed in the Netherlands, it’s a small act of resistance disguised as a piece of art.

Pick your zone. Find a leafy spot about 1-2m off the ground, with dappled sunlight and plenty of greenery. A bit shady, not a sun trap. Mount it like you mean it. Sling it from a branch or bang a nail into a solid surface. This is a shelter, not a wind chime, make sure it’s snug and sturdy. Stand back and let nature move in. Keep watch as your two-dotted neighbours roll up. Want to join the research mission?
