A collection of unique Aboriginal beaded Jewellery hand crafted by Aboriginal artist Leonie Campbell.
Each necklace or bracelet is comprised of gum nuts, acacia seeds and ininti seeds.
Leonie explains that the Gum nut seeds are collected while they are still green, they are sorted, cleaned, dried and then drilled or poked using hot wire to make a hole to tread through the string. Art is culture for Aboriginal people.
Using acrylic paints she decorates the gum nuts with Aboriginal symbols and patterns, which can have multiple meanings referring to the dreamings. The painted gum nuts are then several times lacquered with high gloss.
