Kemp's Ridley Australian Sea Turtle

The Kemp's Ridley Australian Sea Turtle is a handcrafted alpaca sculpture, representing one of the seven species of sea turtles found across the world. This ornament is part of our beautiful sea life collection, inspired by the diverse marine animals that inhabit our planet's waters. With meticulous attention to detail, we aim to capture the unique characteristics, shapes, and colors of these majestic creatures. We are proud to collaborate with rescues, preserves, and societies dedicated to studying and protecting sea turtles, and we are passionate about educating others through our creations. Every piece is one-of-a-kind, with slight variations, and crafted with love.

What makes this special:

• Realistic details - authentic features and character carefully needle felted

• Premium alpaca fiber - softer and more artistic than traditional wool felting

• Dual display options - includes hanging loop or stands beautifully on any surface

• Handcrafted artistry - each piece individually created with attention to detail

• Perfect size - stands a few inches tall, ideal for shelves, desks, or collections

Each sculpture is lovingly created by skilled artisans in Arequipa, Peru, with faces sewn and detailed by hand. Due to the handcrafting process, every piece is unique with slight natural variations - making yours truly one-of-a-kind.

A bit of our felting history:

Lanart pioneered alpaca needle felting in Peru nearly 20 years ago, training a team of artisans in a craft that had traditionally only been practiced with wool. Today, every piece is still authentically handmade by those same skilled artisans—bringing originality, heritage, and genuine alpaca fiber to every little felted critter.
