Felt is an inter­est­ing mate­r­i­al to work with. It’s a fab­ric, but because of the way the fibers are mat­ted and com­pressed, essen­tial­ly, the mate­r­i­al is stiffer. It can be used in a way sim­i­lar to paper.

Illus­tra­tor Naíma Almei­da uses it to cre­ate col­lage art that high­lights bright col­ors and bold shapes, all inspired by nature. Her most ambi­tious pieces use felt to cre­ate dense, jun­gle-like scenes of trop­i­cal blooms. Pieces are lay­ered and are a daz­zling com­bi­na­tion of felt’s sig­na­ture vibrant col­ors and beau­ti­ful shape design. Togeth­er, all of it begs for a clos­er look.

Be sure to fol­low Naíma on Insta­gram to see what she’s up to next. You can also pur­chase a selec­tion of her work through Society6.
