I fell in love at first sight with his meticulously crafted, unique, and charming brooches, and I contacted the designer immediately. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI have a Sami friend who lives in Jokkmokk, and much like their family, I truly feel that he lives in harmony with nature. During the summer, he searches for materials—reindeer antlers—in the forest. These pieces are finished with reindeer antler, pewter, and genuine leather. The leather itself is also hand-spun from reindeer hide. Because they are handcrafted using the gifts of nature, no two are ever the same. His skilled, traditional craftsmanship creates such a smooth finish. Shaping the antlers into spheres by hand requires both time and a high level of technical skill. He then embeds birch wood into the pieces and carves traditional Sami patterns into them. I can truly feel the heart poured into every single one. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e=============================================== \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout Bo Göran Korivi\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Sami designer living on the Swedish side of the Arctic Circle, halfway between Jokkmokk and Rovaniemi.
