About Me
- Jane
- Bruthen, Victoria, Australia
- I started out making basic jewellery in my mid school years, and it was due to the mounting frustration of not being able to "do more!" that pushed me to study in jewellery design. In 2009 I completed an Advanced Diploma of Engineering Technology (Jewellery) at Box Hill Institute in Melbourne, Australia. This course is very highly focused on design, and we were urged to push our designs to be everything they could be. I love to work in metal, mostly silver, and I am keen to push the boundaries of what is considered modern day, jewellery acceptance. I draw my inspiration from everything around me, and have also designed and made many pieces from my dreams. My jewellery is usually quite organic and large... :) I like rings to be sculptures for the hand - See "Talk To The Hand" ring on the Home Page. I hope to continue my studies both around Australia and overseas in the coming years, but for now I have my own studio in the bush where I grew up to keep experimenting with the wonders of jewellery design.

Pickles And Trickery!
A wise sage once told me that if you eat 40 pickles after midnight, your teeth will glow in the dark forever. Upon completing this ghastly ritual one hideously early summer morning, my teeth are still the same shade of off-white and have never once even slightly glimmered in the dark.
I am no wise sage, but take a care to listen for a bare 30 seconds... Trust noone who entices you to eat 40 pickles, their sense of humour is obviously pickled. Trust instead in your eyes, let them guide you to what you desire...
Welcome to the world of "Pickles and Trickery!" Brought to you by the "very switched on, no funny stuff here" - Jane.
By the by, I did hear from an astute young man that if you cover your naked body with honey and stand in a school playground for 3 hours on a windy day, you will have collected more rubbish than all the naughty kids on yard duty, and consequently resemble a human garbage depot. I'm not too sure if this is a wise thing to do though...

Harness The Room
Whippletree
The Whippletree is a wooden bar positioned horizontally to the front of a horse drawn plough.
The bar is pivoted at or near the centre. It distributes force evenly through linkages.
Force is applied from one direction to the pivot, and from the other direction to the tips.
This exhibition was organised by the amazing Kate Marshall. Having a fondness for the brain teasing and brow creasing, she constructed an idea that no other could even pretend to take credit for. Thank you Kate, keep 'em coming :-)
The artists exhibiting in Whippletree are Kate Marshall, Karyn Nankivell, Stephen Robb, Misako Sakai, Puneet Jodhka, Jodie Welch, Alicia Hannah Naomi and Jane Walker (me).
Oak Hill Gallery is a lovely place to exhibit and one that I will definitely seek out for future exhibitions.
Oak Hill Gallery is situated at 100 Mornington-Tyabb Road, Mornington. Whippletree runs from 29th May - 24th June. There are five other exhibitions on at the same time, so it is definitely worth going for a look.

Box Necklaces
Unremote-Ables
This range of jewellery explores the function of boxes and the different ways they can be worn and operated. Through texture, form and a sense of hiding something, these necklaces with their little four-walled attachments entice one and many to play with something other than their thumbs.

The Body Corporate!
The Body Corporate is a collection of designer/makers of wearable jewellery and 3D objects. We all studied together in 2008 - 2009 and as our course was drawing to it's end, we banded together to conquer the unknowing world of jewellery design.
Take a peep at our first coming out exhibition:
"Peep Show" at Self Preservation, 70 Burke St Melbourne.
Opening 24th November 6 - 8pm.

A Production Range
Curly Cabaret!
A wiggling, and a jiggling, and a twisting, and a jiving, makes this jewellery seem to dance before your eyes.
Made from sterling silver, this range of jewellery consists of earrings, brooches, bracelets and necklaces.
Curly Cabaret is very unique and full of musical life. It is made differently every time, giving each piece its own dancing tune.
Soon these jazzing two-steps will be accompanied by precious stones and more!

Runtil Mayhem Jewellery!
FRESH & ARTLESS GUANO!
A hotshot cluster of stagnant plebs, pitching strategies of idiosyncrasy of cerebral design.
The crux of the matter is to unveil the theft of our nemesis,
Yuppo Ganache, at our fodder Par-tay!
We are the vindication of a boom cast with our flamboyant flotsam and instant larangitis of the phalanx and a mighty mighty monolith haemorrhage.
Fresh Meat? Zigactly!
Freshen Up, Plebs!!!
Runtil Mayhem Jewellery is comprised of Jane and Sarah, two amazing life forms of such profound structure and stability that they are truly unique.
Raspberry Licorice Range
