Felt Artist (Ronel Jordan)
January 9, 2008 |
 
 
Ronel Jordan’s art felting is a must see for all felting artists or want-to-be felters. Her designs are exquisite and over-the-top from anything I have seen. There is a shop that sells her beautiful items and a blog showing pieces she has done. Whatever you do please visit her site and lavish in her remarkable designs. Ronel’s work is also for slae at Casa nova gallery.Ronel Jordaan, a textile designer for 28 years is mainly inspired by nature and gives free reign to her imagination using felt as a preferred medium. This utilitarian material has been used for centuries and is made of wool fibres that interlock as they are rubbed together.Thanks to its malleable texture, the felt she combines occasionally with other natural fibres such as cotton or silk gives Ronel the freedom to create anything she can imagine.Her product range includes rock cushions, scatter cushions, screens, curtains, throws, scarves and pebble carpets. Ronel has also trained a group of women in the art of felting. These women produce the designs with her and have now started creating their own designs with her help.Ronel lives and works in Johannesburg (Gauteng, South Africa).
