25.01.2022 Another project I'm working on at the moment for Curator Adrienne Williams FOUND / Studio Dog / Exhibition & Art Trail. A really interesting art project coming up in August.
22.01.2022 Gentle, petite yellow rush lily blooms. Sunshine yellow in nature, transformed into sunset colours using heat and flame. #nicolejakinsdesignerobjects #botanicaljewellery #artistjewellery #sustainablefashion #gympieartist #sunshinecoastartist #frasercoastartist #artisan
21.01.2022 A flash of bright blue sky peaking through a golden sun drenched bush, it's just rained and there's now a beautiful rainbow singing in the sky. New ear drops available on my web store, light as air to wear- with a slight tinkling sound when worn. https://www.nicolejakins.com.au/shop #nicolejakinsdesignerobjects #artisanjewelry #artistjewellery #naturejewellery #earthyjewellery #earthgoddess #australianbush #sunshowers
21.01.2022 Delicate hand formed and heat-treated Wallum Bottlebrush stems in remnant and non-remnant brass...bringing back memories of my visits to Woodgate beach . #nicolejakinsdesignerobjects #artisanjewellery #frasercoastartist #gympieartist #botanicaljewellery #artistjewellery #earthyjewellery #earthgoddess #australiancraft #queenslandfashion #woodgatebeach
21.01.2022 Scorched earth, beetle wings, dry hop bush...summer. #nicolejakinsdesignerobjects #artisanstore #artistjewellery #earthgoddess #earthyjewellery #queenslandfashion #greenfashion #australiannatives #australiansummer
20.01.2022 For the briefest of moments this morning, part of the property filled with smoke haze...a taste of what will come for this year's summer. The ear-piercing sound of cicadas rings in the background. #nicolejakinsdesignerobjects #earthyjewellery #earthgoddess #artjewellery #authenticaustralian #queenslandmaker #artistjewellery
19.01.2022 Sneaky peek at a project I'm working on for a group show in Sydney...Australian native flora and fauna combos. #nicolejakinsdesignerobjects #queenslandmaker #australiancraft #contemporarycraft #australianartist #botanicalart #australiannativeplants #natureart
16.01.2022 I'll be restocking my webstore soon with more wearable Australian native birds and blooms. Featuring the sweet Double-barred finch in recycled sterling silver . #nicolejakinsdesignerobjects #australianbirds #naturejewellery #earthyjewellery #earthgoddess #artisan #artisanjewellery #finch #australiannativefauna
16.01.2022 The moths are gathering outside the window tonight as the distant sounds of thunder rumble in the background. Here's some new work heading off to @artisanqld this week. #nicolejakinsdesignerobjects #brisbanefashion #artisanstore #artistjewellery #earthyjewellery #mothlove #mothjewelry #artjewelry #artjewellery
15.01.2022 It's raining now , but a couple of weeks ago the skies were filled with a smokey haze and the bush here was hot and dry. These new earthy beauties are now available on my web store. https://www.nicolejakins.com.au/shop #nicolejakinsdesignerobjects #earthyjewellery #earthgoddess #bushfire #queenslandfashion #earthyfashion #natureinspiredjewellery

14.01.2022 Stringy bark textures in flame-treated bronze, new studs now available on my web store. A supremely lightweight design, which has been achieved by passing a remnant piece of bronze through the rolling mill many times. I have noticed that not many other makers use this material, I assume that is because it is so much harder to cut...and more expensive, but I just can't take my eyes off the sunset/natural hues that are achieved when heat-treating each artwork! I also just wante...d to thank everyone who has supported me in their own unique way, for the amazing direct messages & comments that keep me wanting to create authentically Australian wearables. #nicolejakinsdesignerobjects #artistjewellery #eucalyptustree #artisanjewellery #artisan #queenslandmaker #frasercoastartist #natureinspiredjewellery #contemporaryjewellery
14.01.2022 New work - strappy leafed Dianella at Rocky Creek, featuring cycad trunk silver drops. A seasonal creek just 100mtrs away, the waters come after heavy rain, slowly the flow dies down and the waterholes dry up. (Swipe for provenance). #nicolejakinsdesignerobjects #artisan #queenslandfashion #brisbanefashion #australiannatives #naturejewellery #naturejewelry #authenticaustralian #earthyjewellery #earthgoddess

13.01.2022 I wish you were here when I made these ! The heady scent of dried- fallen eucalypt leaves passing through the rolling mill, as it makes a beautiful impression on these silver rain droplets ! #nicolejakinsdesignerobjects #nationaltreeday #eucalyptusleaf #naturejewellery #naturejewelry #artisanjewelry #earthyjewellery #ecofashion #greenfashion #artjewellery #wearableart #eucalyptustree #earthgoddess #contemporarycraft #earthyjewellery
12.01.2022 On the bench this weekend. Drawing straight onto salvaged copper sheet, cutting out, hand forming then soldering together.

12.01.2022 In amongst the banksia, the gentle sway of the bush and the hum of insects.

11.01.2022 The changing colour of a bloom as it dries, the sound of wind-swept leaves, a brilliant blue sky peaking through the haze of smoke, beetle wings scattered as I clean the gutters...if I could notice these small things, then it has been a good day. New wearable artworks now available on my web store. https://www.nicolejakins.com.au/shop #artisanjewelry #artistjewellery #earthyjewellery #earthgoddess #contemporaryjewellery #sustainable #greenfashion #queenslandfashion #botanicaljewelry #botanicaljewellery #authenticaustralian
