24.01.2022 Work in progress..... The bare bones of a ring in creation. Not much to look at, yet. The ring shank has been hand forged from a single piece of my own guage stock and the setting is two parts, upper and lower setting, hand sawn and shaped from one piece of metal, giving the setting symmetry and strength to last.... #helenefcampbell #melbournejeweller #dandenongrangesartist #goldandsilversmithsguildofaustralia
23.01.2022 I was challenged today to post a B&W photo to celebrate women. Checking out what it is about I found that originally this IG project was about femicide, in particular in Turkey, #auturkishculturalclub Turkey is now a non-secular patriarchy, where last year in 2019, 430 women were murdered. To date the count is 285 deaths this year.... Recently a young woman was murdered by her boyfriend, he tried to burn the corpse, failed at this, threw the corpse in a bin and poured concrete in the bin. Female demonstrators recently protesting violence against women in Turkey have been detained, beaten and abused whilst in police custody. Femicide is here now, not just Turkey, and our Black & White photos whilst it may have devolved to celebrate Feminism, in reality, is protesting those who continue to belittle, brutalise & murder females. Google - we will stop femicide and read it all for yourself. I challenge you to post a black & white photo of yourself to challenge femicide. @marinac999 @estherweinbergjewellery @desma_designs_jewellery @yolaanddaria @isywisyletsgetbusy #challengeaccepted #womenempowerment #protectwomen #blackandwhitephotochallenge #turkey

In the meantime, I will keep working in isolation and online store orders will be processed as per normal and delivered by our wonderful Australia Post Posties.

18.01.2022 Another happy customer! Ruby got her Ruby & White Sapphire ring finally and the little details added at the top of the shank by our Master Setter just made her day.
18.01.2022 Just delivered yesterday and another happy customer. This one was fun, the clients gold window pendant has been remade into a bespoke and bold statement ring.
17.01.2022 Absolutely!!! So often we hear that creativity is undisciplined, not serious, feckless and worse. Without creativity we would not be reaching out to the stars, exploring our oceans, developing cures for disease, creating music that resonates with the soul, films to keep us entertained, books to read, Instagram/Facebook, scrumny food to delight the palate or beautiful things to wear ... #helenefcampbell #melbournejeweller #melbournecreative #dandenongrangesartist #dandenongranges
17.01.2022 Sapphire - September Sapphire and Ruby the two gem-varieties of Corundum. On the MOH’s scale, they both rank at 9.0 (Diamond is a 10)... Sapphires and Rubies are normally found together and are are mined from alluvial deposits or from primary underground workings. Commercial mining locations for Sapphire and Ruby include the following countries: Afghanistan, Australia, Myanmar/Burma, Cambodia, China, Colombia, India, Kenya, Laos, Madagascar, Malawi, Nepal, Nigeria, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Tajikistan, Tanzania, Thailand, United States, and Vietnam. Sapphires and Rubies from different geographic locations may have different appearances or chemical-impurity concentrations and tend to contain different types of microscopic inclusions, that help identify the source, much like mineral fingerprints. #helenefcampbell #september #septemberbirthday #septemberbirthdaystoneand
17.01.2022 Isn't this guy cute!? One of the cutest looking local birds, that flits around the forest and paddocks. It's a Blue Wren of Fairy Wren and these guys dart around catching flying insects. The perfect bird as the blue reminds me of a Blue Ceylon Sapphire ... I hope he makes you smile - yep it's a boy that has those brilliant colour........ #helenefcampbell #wednesday #melbournejeweller #dandenongranges
13.01.2022 September Birthstone is Sapphire! If you think it only comes in Blue, then you are missing out on all the other colours. From white through to a deep blue-black Sapphire can found in so many colours of the rainbow and in so many different shapes. Keep an eye out over the month for a bit more information on the gorgeous stone, here ... #helenefcampbell #talltreesstudio #sapphire #sapphirering #birthstone

12.01.2022 Never alone, even at my desk - companions and "guard" dogs
11.01.2022 Due to Lockdown in Melbourne I've been channeling my creativity into my garden. First stop is the greenhouse, made ollo's (pronounced oyo) to passively water the beds, then topped up the raised beds with a special grow mix, finally planted the baby Basil from Jungle Jane ....

06.01.2022 Another commission - delicious Cristmas Brooch - went off to its new home to be worn daily in the lead up to and on Christmas Day
06.01.2022 Not the best video and excuse the work worn hands but the stone sure does bling. I just finally got this stone (and its friends) in from my cutter and supplier its been a long wait, but I think its been worh it. Its a visually interesting stone and I cant wait to create a new piece for it. What can I tell you about the stone, its carbon based, rosecut, round, 4.5mm, grey and boy does it bling irl. ... Having these clues, can you guess what stone it is? Need more clues?? Let me know #helenefcampbell #talltreesstudio #gemstone #melbournejeweller

06.01.2022 Hands Up - Who Else is an Over Thinker?? You know you're a Over Thinker when your brain is see-sawing between fight and flight (or in my case - hunker down and hide or keep working) and randomly dumb thoughts like this flit through your brain, that on sane reflection are hilarious! Yesterday Melbourne Vic was advised of the news that at 6pm last night we are in Stage 4 lock down with a 8pm to 5am curfew each night, no travel outside a 5km radius etc etc etc... My initial thoughts were - WTF!! After the initial shock, dumb thoughts like those kept flitting through my brain.... It's shock. I just have to laugh at myself and my brain, a good laugh at myself cleared these hilariously dumb thoughts away. #helenefcampbell #covidthoughts #laughatyourselfdaily #covidlife2020 #overthinkers
05.01.2022 A male Rosella helping his friend out by removing some sticky tree gum from his friends beak. I'm fortunate enough to have Rosellas visit every day, and observe their antics. One thing I've noticed is that the Eastern Rosella help each other out, the males may compete for the female's attention but when needed, they are there. #helenefcampbell ... #rosella #rosellas #easternrosella #dandenongranges See more
04.01.2022 This has been never more important. I do what makes my soul shine (go to the next photo) even though lock down has made this hard. Melbourne Stage 4 Lockdown was extended at least one more week, and Stage 3 still means I am not able to open the shop until at least late October. The upside is that it gives me more time to plan Christmas 2020 and then map out next year as a whole, concentrate on more designs and (yikes) continue to stream line the back office & processes.... Whilst I am restricted at home I am limited with what I can do in regards to making, I still have a few things to play with . #helenefcampbell #talltreesstudio #lockdown2020 #fuckcovid19 #soulshineI
04.01.2022 Over Talltreesstudio it's Mail it Tuesday where you tell someone something nice with a card. Here's my card for hubby.
04.01.2022 Save and play as needed.
03.01.2022 September hosts two Astrological signs Virgo (1-21) & Libra (22-30) who are fortunate enough to be Sapphire babies. In the past our forebears thought that the Sapphire had special significance. The magnificent and holy Sapphire, in all its celestial hues, is a stone of wisdom and royalty, of prophecy and Divine favour.... To the ancient and medieval world, Sapphire of heavenly blue signified the height of celestial hope and faith, and was believed to bring protection, good fortune and spiritual insight. It's a wonderful stone with so many hues to have for your Birthday month. #helenefcampbell #supportlocalbusiness #smallbusinessvictoria #smallbusinessvic #septemberbirthdays
03.01.2022 A glimpse into a corner of my workbench, my home during the day when I'm in the store. Just a small assortment of pliers, saw blades (in the test tubes) and ideas in development...... Back to the grind of marketing and book work. ... #helenefcampbell #supportlocalbusiness #supportlocal #smallbusinessvic #yarrarangesbusiness
