You can block your ears when someone drops a stitch or tangles up the wire!
No tension is required, this is why each bracelet will be different also with placement of beads. Worried about the wire bit? Don’t be! it’s as easy as using wool except for the mishaps.
Discover Noelene Hammond
I am a self-taught artist sewing and knitting is in my family. I started using wire on a knitting machine with beads, that started me off.
I had a studio in Deloraine for 11 years, making felt and woolen jackets with embellished collars using free motion sewing, also my felt heirloom Christmas hats which sell all year round, free motion scarves designed like a form of art, the main part of the studio was my wire knitted range of jewelry.
You will find my work in many galleries around Tasmania.
Making with Bright Bold Colours
My first creation was making sewn scarves, laying the yarn and many textiles out on Solvy, then sewing many times.
It took a lot of time making all the bright, bold colours work together and making them harmonious. I was very fortunate that the local gallery in Yarragon took these into their bright gallery.
Knitting Machine Creations
I love to work with 12 ply yarn its got to be bright and bold with many other textiles for my scarves, which have names; Ghost nets is about fishman’s nets when repairing them they cut off the rubbish bits and they float down onto the coral over time it turns white.
Other pieces are Magnolia, Garden, Circles and Tasmania Poppies.
The jewellery line is knitted with different coloured wire 28g, working with large glass beads which give off a sparkle. My work is a one-off piece because of my love of not using a pattern which makes it off centre and unique.
About the Artist
My love in life is all about colour being lead by the sun if not sunny I cannot design.
So my work has to be bright and nothing square, it’s all off centre that’s my dream whether it’s in my work or what I wear is the same bright and beautiful
