- Hi Luana!
I don’t think we meet this summer, I was a way almost the whole summer.
I pleased that you like Gothenburg. I hope IF you return that you contact me, so I can show you things that you may be missed… I also like HDK, even if it’s around 7 years since I went there, but they have open speech that I use to join.
Keep up the good work and enjoy life!
With love and thoughts, Paula, from a snowy Gothenburg.

- Yeah, that was a good surprise. Hey I wanted to ask you if I melted down some old gold necklaces of different K's would it still look nice? My aunt wants me to make her something new out of her old pieces. xoxo Hope you're well

"Behind the Brooch"
I have always thought that the back of a jewelry piece is as important as the front. If you feel the same way, consider sending images of the front and backside of your brooches to Lorena Angulo asap. Lorena is looking for images to place in a future crafthaus online exhibition!
