About Me

My photo
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...
