Bamboo root ant magnets

From aged bamboo roots, Vietnamese artisans meticulously shape them into small ants. Then, through the skillful hands of Artisan Tran Thi Ngoc Hieu, natural seashell and conch fragments are delicately attached to the ant’s body, adding vividness and uniqueness. Thanks to this refined combination, each ant appears to be “given a soul,” becoming a friendly and lively work of art.

Every detail is meticulously handcrafted: the body is wrapped in jute twine, and the wings and flowers are embellished with natural seashell fragments.

More than just a small decorative item, the Bamboo root ant magnets is a story of sustainable creativity—where seemingly discarded natural materials are reborn and spread a green lifestyle message. With the magnet cleverly attached to the abdomen, the ant can cling to refrigerators, metal shelves, or steel frames, being both practical and adding an interesting focal point to any space.

Each ant possesses its own unique character. The ants carrying flowers on their backs are pieced together from white Ốc Nhảy shells (Jumping Snails), with smoothly curved petals. The body is carefully wrapped in jute, retaining the natural brown color of the bamboo, evoking a warm and approachable feeling.

In any small corner, these ants exude a rustic, simple, yet vibrant charm, much like the diligent and creative spirit of the Vietnamese people.

A small work of art, but one that fully encapsulates the spirit of Vietnamese craftsmanship—where nature, imagination, and talented hands meet to create a simple yet unique beauty.
