About Me
My name is Hamideh Abol, I am a designer/ textile artist located in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Shefelt.ca is my blog where I write about my life, my inspirations, and my everyday challenges as a designer.
Term "Felt" in shefelt refers to a non-woven cloth that is produced by matting, condensing and pressing woolen fibres and that is the main medium for my designs.
I hope you enjoy my website.
