Felt Jewelry by Danielle Gori-Montanelli

Let's consider three definitions of

the word felt:

as a type of cloth formed when wool

fibers are mixed with moisture,

heat and pressure;

as the past tense of the verb 'to feel'

 describing one's emotional reactions;

and as a term to

explain the tactile, physical

sensations of an object.

Few people would

attribute this trio of terminology

to one artist's work, but

 all three can be appropriately used

when discovering the jewelry and

accessories created by

Danielle Gori-Montanelli.

She designs with felt cloth making

wonderful pieces of wearable art.

While she doesn't actually make her

 own felt cloth, she does sew every

piece of her creations by hand with

 needle and thread.

  Her creative process is improvisational.

Her creations are multi-dimensional.

Vibrant colors and thick structural

elements combine in myriad ways

emerging as lush, dense sculptures.

Colorful is just the beginning.

Highly textured is an understatement.

Whether she uses spectral colors or

monochromatic themes each

piece is a work of art.

This composition is breathtaking.

This artist transforms simple felt cloth

into multi-dimensional, vibrantly-colored

colossal works that inspire and delight.

This large-scale work provides

 large-scale inspiration.

Enjoy!
