Walker's kinetic lockets are hand made using the techniques of piercing, domeing, drilling and soldering to create almost lifelike realisticly appearing pieces such as her thistle pendants, where each spike on the surface of the pod is soldered on by hand. Walker also uses various metals to recreate the different colours and hues found in nature, including silver, copper and gold and they are buffed and sanded to have a rough, non shiny finish to resemble the plant of inspiration. As a contrast, some of her pieces are decorated with small shiny stones or pearls that allow her pieces to be more precious.
