Inner pages of the book.

The project has been developed and now includes various lakes that have some meaning for me, memories from trips or the favourite lake for a summer dip. These memories have a relationship with the etchings on the surfaces of the brooches, like the scratches from my skates on Lomtjärn.

In my childhood I spent many hours on a small lake near our home, Lomtjärn. During the winter we played hockey and bandy there and in the summer I caught small crucians, which I sold as bait for fishermen.

When I was looking for the little lake on Google Maps a few years ago, I found an interesting shape and decided to use it in my jewellery. It was the beginning of a new series of brooches. I started to look for other lakes from my home area that I had some sort of connection with, Igeltjärn, Kyrktjärn and Losjön.
