The project combines references to reinforced construction with a palette derived from confectionery tones, establishing a contrast between material heaviness and visual softness.

A beer trap is another brilliant way to protect your plants. It may not completely rid your garden of these pests, but it does have benefits. For one, the beer trap traps and drowns slugs. The other is that, in the process, you are enticing them away from crops you want to protect.
