In the summer of 2014 I started planning stone trolls and then I built stone trolls every summer until the summer of 2024. It actually started with me needing a little break from family life when the children were small. Gluing the stone roll together was a reason to get away from everything and have a quiet moment for myself. Read more about the creation process.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>

If I counted correctly and remembered to photograph them all, I have made a total of 74 trolls. Of those, I have given 4 as gifts to various acquaintances (unfortunately one troll broke due to rough play). All the given away stone trolls are said to still live in cottages on Em\u00e4salo.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Read about the stone trolls in Borg\u00e5bladet (in Swedish)!<\/a> (the article was originally published in 2023 when the newspaper was called \u00d6stnyland, which Borg\u00e5bladet was called during the years 2015-2024) Paywall, but if you have, for example, an HBL account, you will see the entire article. The article is published in the actual paper newspaper on 8.12.2023 (screenshot from PDF<\/a>) and on the web<\/a> on 12.12.2023.<\/p>\n<\/div>
