Tortoiseshell Butterfly Plant Pot Companions

A pair of small wooden companions designed to sit quietly among your plants, inspired by the distinctive markings of the tortoiseshell butterfly.

Each piece begins as a hand-drawn illustration, developed into a clean, balanced form and laser cut from FSC-certified wood. The surface is then hand painted, bringing out the rich orange tones and darker details that make this butterfly so recognisable.

Designed to rest within plant pots, these companions become part of the setting rather than a separate ornament. They add a gentle point of focus among leaves and stems, working well on windowsills, shelves or in small indoor gardens.

The use of wood gives a natural warmth and texture, while the lightweight construction keeps them easy to place and reposition. Made in small batches and finished by hand, each piece carries slight variations that reflect its making.

A simple way to bring a familiar detail of the natural world into everyday spaces.
