Carina Sohl works as a leather artist in the Swedish countryside. After graduating from her art and craft studies, she developed an innovative technique of embossing patterns on leather. Her daughters work alongside her in the creation of these patterns, which are one-of-a-kind, just like every pressed flower they use. Together they source flowers in the surrounding countryside and, back in the studio, sort, classify and organise the flowers and plants they have gathered. “What I do cannot be compared with traditional embossed leather, because creating patterns with natural flowers requires a completely new and innovative kind of artistic craft process,” Carina says.
