Per-Åke Backman lives and works in Leksand in Dalarna where he works with straw art, especially Himmeli, which is a traditional Finnish craft technique for making ornaments from straw.
Himmeli can be compared to the Swedish craft technique of making straw crowns, known as oro, which is also a type of hanging ornament made of straw that has been used mainly to decorate the home at festivals and celebrations.
